Techology: Interview
An interesting interview with an IIT alumni, Umang Gupta, which appeared in the San Francisco chronicle today.
Some snippets are:
Q: What is your take on Silicon Valley? What is it about the valley that makes it happen?
A: There's no place like it on Earth. It is a combination of an amazing academic setup -- Stanford and Berkeley and others -- combined with venture capital that has over time grown up here, so it's an institutional knowledge of how to invest, combined with companies that are at the center of their industries, whether it's the Internet or enterprise software or the semiconductor or hardware industries.
...
Q: Has America become the place whose lunch everybody wants to eat? Does America get to eat the world's lunch, or is America disadvantaged in the future?
A: I think it's a deeper economic question ...
Nobody has to eat anybody else's lunch. There is plenty for everybody.
