Thus to survive and prosper in the silicon revolution, it wasn't enough to shun stagnant industries and identify growth ones.
The silicon revolution that started back then with the personal computer, led to the Internet in the 1990s and broadband in the 2000s.
But software is what differentiated Apple from the get-go, software built on a silicon computing revolution developed by others.
Then it was left out in the cold, as Silicon Valley created the microchip revolution and just about all the other excitement of the 1980s and 1990s, down to the dot-com binge.
And they have come here from advanced societies as engineers and scientists that fuel the knowledge-based revolution in the Silicon Valley of California, in the Research Triangle of North Carolina, along Route 128 in Massachusetts, in Austin, Texas, and across this great land.
You should become familiar with the companion revolution in the mechanical uses of silicon.

Thanks to the technology revolution, we know more about silicon, particularly when it comes to manufacturing products in high volume, than any other material in the world.
FORBES: How Silicon Will Spur A Boom In Solid-State Lighting
This sartorial revolution started, inevitably, in Silicon Valley, but by last spring it had stormed even the most sober and traditional banks, consultancies and law firms of Manhattan and the City of London.
It is also the birthplace of Silicon Valley--and thus of the electronics revolution.
The computer revolution can only go so far on silicon and metal.
What draws people to Silicon Valley is the freedom to go out and commit industrial revolution and make the future.
"Except for the silicon, we've only gotten 5% of the potential of the PC revolution, " he says.
Alongside the development of silicon computer chips (integrated circuits to many of us) there was a companion revolution.
FORBES: Exponential Growth in Small Machines - Don't Fear, They're Here to Protect You
The fastest silicon transistors are still an order of magnitude faster than that, but this marks an important milestone in the graphene revolution.
