Tracking Back

I enabled TrackBack URIs, and figured I ought to test them. So this tracks back to itself, and I suppose it should appear here.

The Flower Generation's Sendlings

I was just thinking about how Silicon Valley is out in California, and how it's a big huge blob on Dice.com's map. 1969 was the year alot of rebelious kids went out there. Probably in their late teens or early 20s. With their free spirited attitudes I'm sure quite a few of them started creating families—most likely inadvertantly. So that would place a ton of births to somewhat intelligent people during the '70s.

Now their kids were in their 20s during the .COM bust which occurred in the late 1990s. That's nearly 25 years after 1975. Most of the .COMs were started by people in their 20s. So I'm speculating that the children of the flower generation caused the wave of innovation that has come out of California. Maybe it was the Kool-Aid their parents gave them, or they're just pretty darn smart and money from Hollywood was there to be invested.

Just a thought.
