The Money and How It Is Applied Of course, the models discussed are predicated upon the fact that the patrons and salonniers had money and were willing to spend it on fostering a community of artists and intellectuals without directly benefiting from such an “investment.” In Silicon Valley, we have plenty of money. There will be more as the next wave of IPOs and acquisitions happen.

How Do You Foster Renaissance Thinking? Each period of renaissance from history saw great congregations of talented people from multiple disciplines in certain cities or regions. Two prominent examples are Florence under the Medicis and Elizabethan England. Artists, writers, scientists, and philosophers were in the same place, working close to each other and exchanging ideas on a regular basis. In contrast, Silicon Valley is ill-equipped for Renaissance thinking.Super-powerful desktop computers, video game systems, cars, iPads, iPods, tablet computers, cellular phones, microwave ovens, high-def television… Most of the luxuries we enjoy during our daily lives are a result of the tremendous advancements of computing power which was made possible by the development of the transistor. The first patent for transistors was filed in Canada in 1925 by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld; this patent, however, did not include any information about devices that would actually be built using the technology. Later, in 1934, the German inventor Oskar Heil patented a similar device, but it really wasn’t until 1947 that John Bardeen and Walter Brattain at Bell Telephone Labs produced the first point-contact transistor. During their initial testing phases, they produced a few of them and assembled an audio amplifier which was later presented to various Bell Labs executives.
