新概念英语第四册全翻译
Lesson 1 Finding fossil man 发现化石人我们从书籍中可读到5,000 年前近东发生的事情,那里的人最早学会了写字;但直到现在,世界上有些地方,人们还不会书写; 他们保存历史的唯一办法是将历史当作传说讲述,由讲述人一代接一代地将史实描述为传奇故事口传下来;人类学家过去不清楚如今生活在太平洋诸岛上的波利尼西亚人的祖先来自何方,当地人的传说却告诉人们：其中一部分是约在2,000年前从印度尼西亚迁来的;但是,和我们相似的原始人生活的年代太久远了,因此,有关他们的传说既使有如今也失传了;于是,考古学家们既缺乏历史记载,又无口头传说来帮助他们弄清最早的“现代人”是从哪里来的;然而,幸运的是,远古人用石头制作了工具,特别是用燧石,因为燧石较之其他石头更容易成形;他们也可能用过木头和兽皮,但这类东西早已腐烂殆尽;石头是不会腐烂的;因此,尽管制造这些工具的人的骨头早已荡然无存,但远古时代的石头工具却保存了下来;Lesson 2 Spare that spider不要伤害蜘蛛你可能会觉得奇怪, 蜘蛛怎么会是我们的朋友呢因为它们能消灭那么多的昆虫,其中包括一些人类的大敌,要不是人类受一些食虫动物的保护,昆虫就会使我们无法在地球上生活下去,昆虫会吞食我们的全部庄稼,杀死我们的成群的牛羊;我们要十分感谢那些吃昆虫的鸟和兽,然而把它们所杀死的昆虫全部加在一起也只相当于蜘蛛所消灭的一小部分;此外,蜘蛛不同于其他食虫动物,它们丝毫不危害我们和我们的财物;许多人认为蜘蛛是昆虫,但它们不是昆虫,甚至与昆虫毫无关系;人们几乎一眼就能看出二者的差异,因为蜘蛛都是8条腿,而昆虫的腿从不超过6条;有多少蜘蛛在为我们效力呢一位研究蜘蛛的权威对英国南部一块草坪上的蜘蛛作了一次调查;他估计每英亩草坪里有225万多只蜘蛛;这就是说,在一个足球场上约有600万只不同种类的蜘蛛;蜘蛛至少有半年在忙于吃昆虫;它们一年中消灭了多少昆虫,我们简直无法猜测,它们是吃不饱的动物,不满意一日三餐;据估计,在英国蜘蛛一年里所消灭昆虫的重量超过这个国家人口的总重量;Lesson 3 Matterhorn man马特霍恩山区人现代登山运动员总想找一条能够给他们带来运动乐趣的路线来攀登山峰;他们认为, 道路愈艰险愈带劲儿;然而,在登山运动的初期,全然不是这种情况;早期登山者所寻找的是通往山顶的最方便的途径,因为顶峰特别是前人未曾到过的顶峰 -- 才是他们寻求的目标;确实,在探险中他们经常遇到惊心动魄的困难和危险,而他们装备之简陋足以使现代登山者一想起来就胆战心惊;但是,他们并非故意寻求这种刺激,他们只有一个目标,唯一的目标 -- 顶峰我们今天很难想像昔日的登山先驱们是多么艰苦;除了泽曼特和夏蒙尼等一两个很快出了名的地方外,阿尔卑斯山山区的小村几乎全是高山环抱、与世隔绝的穷乡僻壤;那里的小客栈一般都很肮脏,而且跳蚤猖獗; 食物是当地的干酪和通常存放了一年之久的面包,人们就着劣酒吞下这种食物;山谷里常常没有小客栈,登山者只好随遇而安;有时同当地牧师他通常和他的教民一样穷住在一起,有时同牧羊人或制乳酪的人住在一起;无论住在哪儿,情况都一样：肮脏、贫穷,极其不舒适;对于过惯了一顿饭吃7道菜、睡亚麻细布床单的人来说,变换一下生活环境来到阿尔卑斯山山区,那一定是很艰难的;Lesson 4Seeing hands能看见东西的手俄罗斯最近报导了几个事例,有人能用手指看书识字和辨认颜色,甚至能透过厚实的门和墙看到东西; 其中有一例谈到有一个名叫维拉.彼托洛娃的11岁学生;她的视力与常人一样,但她还能用皮肤的不同部位辨认东西,甚至看穿坚实的墙壁;是她父亲首先发现她这一功能的;一天,维拉走进父亲的办公室,偶然把手放在一个锁着的保险柜的门上,她突然问父亲为什么把这么多的旧报纸锁在柜子里,还说了报纸捆扎的情况;维拉的特异功能引起了她家附近乌里扬诺夫斯克城一个科研单位的注意;4月里,俄罗斯卫生部一个特别委员会对她进行了一系列的测试;在这些测试中,她能隔着不透明的屏幕读报纸;更为奇怪的是,她把肘部在儿童玩的“罗托”纸牌上移动一下,便能说出印在纸牌上的数字和颜色;还有一次,她穿着长筒袜子和拖鞋,能用脚步识别出藏在地毯下面的一幅画的轮廓和颜色;其他实验表明,她的膝盖和双肩有类似的感觉能力,在所有这些实验中,维拉的双眼都是蒙着的;如果不蒙上双眼她的皮肤就不再具有识别物体的能力;这是千真万确的;同时还发现,尽管她能用手指识别东西,但她的手一旦弄湿,这种功能便会立即消失;Lesson 5Youth青年人们总是在谈论“青年问题”;如果这个问题存在的话 -- 请允许我对此持怀疑态度 -- 那么,这个问题是由老年人而不是青年人造成的;让我们来认真研究一些基本事实：承认青年人和他们的长辈一样也是人;老年人和青年人只有一个区别：青年人有光辉灿烂的前景,而老年人的辉煌已成为过去; 问题的症结恐怕就在这里;我十几岁时,总感到自己年轻,有些事拿不准 -- 我是一所大学里的一名新生,如果我当时真的被看成像一个问题那样有趣,我会感到很得意的;因为这至少使我得到了某种承认,这正是年轻人所热衷追求的;我觉得年轻人令人振奋,无拘无束;他们既不追逐卑鄙的名利,也不贪图生活的舒适;他们不热衷于向上爬,也不一味追求物质享受;在我看来,所有这些使他们与生命和万物之源联系在了一起;从某种意义上讲,他们似乎是宇宙人,同我们这些凡夫俗子形成了强烈而鲜明的对照;每逢我遇到年轻人,脑子里就想到这些年轻人也许狂妄自负,举止无理,傲慢放肆,愚昧无知,但我不会用应当尊重长者这一套陈词滥调来为我自己辨护,似乎年长就是受人尊敬的理由;我认为我和他们是平等的;如果我认为他们错了,我就以平等的身份和他们争个明白;Lesson 6The sporting spirit体育的精神当我听人们说体育运动可创造国家之间的友谊,还说各国民众若在足球场或板球场上交锋,就不愿在战场上残杀的时候,我总是惊愕不已;一个人即使不能从具体的事例例如1936年的奥林匹克运动会了解到国际运动比赛会导致疯狂的仇恨,也可以从常理中推断出结论;现在开展的体育运动几乎都是竞争性的;参加比赛就是为了取胜;如果不拚命去赢,比赛就没有什么意义了; 在乡间的草坪上,当你随意组成两个队,并且不涉及任何地方情绪时,那才可能是单纯的为了娱乐和锻炼而进行比赛;可是一量涉及到荣誉问题,一旦你想到你和某一团体会因为你输而丢脸时,那么最野蛮的争斗天性便会激发起来;即使是仅仅参加过学校足球赛的人也有种体会;在国际比赛中,体育简直是一场模拟战争;但是,要紧的还不是运动员的行为,而是观众的态度,以及观众身后各个国家的态度;面对着这些荒唐的比赛,参赛的各个国家会如痴如狂,甚至煞有介事地相信 -- 至少在短期内如此 -- 跑跑、跳跳、踢踢球是对一个民族品德素质的检验;Lesson 7 Bats蝙蝠动物发出的声音不都是用作语言交际;我们只要看一看蝙蝠回声定位这一极不寻常的发现,就可以探究一下声音在什么情况下有绝对的实用价值;要透彻理解这句话的意义,我们应先回顾一下人类最近的几项发明;大家都知道,在墙壁或山腰附近发出的喊声,就会听到回声;固体障碍物越远;回声返回所用时间就越长;敲打船体所发了的声音会从海底传回来,测出回声间隔的时间,便可算出该处海洋的深度;这样就产生了目前各种船舶上普遍应用的回声探测仪;任何固体者反射声音,反射的声音因物体的大小和性质的不同而不同;鱼群也反射声音;从测定海深到测定鱼群,这一进展比较容易;根据经验和改进了的仪器,不仅能够确定鱼群的位置,而且可以根据鱼群回声的特点分辨出是鲱鱼、鳕鱼,这是人们所熟悉的其他鱼;人们发现,某些蝙蝠能发出尖叫声,并能通过回声来确定并躲开障碍物,或找到它们赖以为生的昆虫;蝙蝠这种回声定位常常可与雷达相比较,其原理是相似的;Lesson 8Trading standards贸易标准布鲁塞尔的官员说,在美国屠宰的鸡不适于用来装点欧洲的餐桌;不,美国人说,我们的家禽很好,只是我们使用了另一种清洗方式;当前,是各国管理条例上的差异,而不是关税阻碍了发达国家之间的贸易;并不仅仅是农民在抱怨;一把符合欧洲联盟安全标准的电动剃须刀必须得到美国检测人员的认可,方可在美国市场上销售；而美国制造的透析仪也要得到欧盟的首肯才能进入欧洲市场;碰巧在欧洲使用安全的剃须刀不大可能使美国人触电身亡,因此,大西洋两岸的企业都在问,当一套测试可以解决问题时,为什么需要两套呢政治家在原则上同意了, 因此,美国和欧洲一直在寻求达成协议,以便为许多产品取消双重检查;他们希望尽早达成协议,为5月28日举行的美国和欧洲贸易的最高通级会议作准备;然谈判代表持乐观态度,但协议细节如此复杂,他们所面临的困难很可能使他们无法取得一致;为什么呢困难之一是起草这些协议;美国人很愿意就医疗器械的标准达成一个协议,然后推敲出不同的合同,用以涵盖 -- 比如说 -- 电子产品和药品的生产;欧洲人遵循优良的大陆传统,则希望就普遍的原则取得一致,而这些原则适用于许多不同产品,同时可能延伸到其它国家;Lesson 9Royal espionage王室谍报活动阿尔弗雷德大帝曾亲自充当间谍;他扮作吟游歌手到丹麦军队的营地里侦察;当时,浪迹天涯的吟游歌手到处受欢迎,他们不是作战人员,竖琴就是他们的通行证;阿尔弗德年轻时学过许多民歌,并能穿插演一些杂技和小魔术使自己的节目多样化;阿尔弗雷德人数不多的军队开始在阿塞尔纳慢慢集结时,他亲自潜入丹麦入侵司令官古瑟罗姆的营地;丹麦军已在切本哈姆扎下营准备过冬,阿尔弗雷便来到此地;他马上发现丹麦军纪律松弛,他们以征服者自居,安全措施马马虎虎;他们靠掠夺附近的地区的财物过着舒适的生活;他们不仅搜刮吃的喝的,而且抢掠妇女,安逸的生活已使丹麦军队变得软弱无力;阿尔弗雷德在敌营呆了一个星期后,回到了阿塞尔纳;他集结在那里的军队和丹麦大军相比是微不足道的,然而,阿尔弗雷德断定,丹麦人已不再适应持久的战争,他们的军需供应处于无组织状态,只是靠临时抢夺来维持;因此,面对丹麦人的进攻,阿尔弗雷德没有贸然同敌人作战,而是采用骚扰敌人的战术;他的部队不停地移动,牵着敌人的鼻子,让他们跟着跑;他派出巡逻队阻止敌人抢劫,因而饥饿威胁着丹麦军队;这时,阿尔弗雷德发起一连串小规模的进攻,结果不出一个月,丹麦人就投降了;这一幕历史可以说是王室谍报活动中最精彩的篇章;.Lesson 10Silicon valley硅谷技术的发展趋势有可能把硅谷重新推向未来;卡弗.米德 -- 集成电路的一位先驱,加州理工学院的计算机教授 -- 注意到,现在有些计算机工作站使工程技术人员可以在他们的办公桌上设计、试验和生产芯片,就像一位编辑在苹果机上编出一份时事通讯一样;由于制造一块芯片的时间已缩短至几天,费用也只有几百美元,因此,工程技术人员可能很块就可充分发挥他们的想像力,而不会因失败而造成经济上的损失;米德预言发明者可以在办公室用一个周末的时间生产了完美的、功能很强的、按客户需求设计的芯片 -- 造就新一代从汽车间起家的技术人员,在把产品推向市场方面使美国把它的外国对手们打个措手不及;“我们有更多的汽车间,那里有许多聪明人,”米德说;“我们确实是靠这种无政府状态发展起来的;”靠的是亚洲人;硅谷许多公司中工程技术人员的大多数是东方人和亚裔美国人;中国、韩国、菲律宾和印度的工程师一批批地从加州的大学毕业;作为新掘起一代的带头人,亚裔发明家可以凭借他们在习惯和语言上的优势,与关键的太平洋沿岸市场建立起更加牢固的联系;比如说,亚历克斯.奥,一位来自香港的斯坦福大学博士,已经在台湾建厂,对日本在内存条市场上近似垄断的局面提出了挑战;印度出生的N.达莫达.雷迪经营的小小的加州公司在堪萨斯城重新启用了美国电话电报公司的一家芯片工厂,并从密苏里州获取了财政上的支持;在硅谷变成一个退休村之前,它很可能成为建立全球商业的一个教学场地;Lesson 11How to grow old如何安度晚年有些老年人因为怕死而感到烦恼;青年人有这种感觉是情有可原的;有理由害怕自己会死在战场上的年轻人,想到自己被剥夺了生活所能给予的最美好的东西时,感到痛苦,这是可以理解的;可是老年人已经饱尝了人间的甘苦,一切能做的都做了,如果怕死,就有点儿可怜又可鄙;克服怕死的最好办法 -- 至少在我看来是这样 -- 就是逐渐使自己的兴趣更加广泛,逐渐摆脱个人狭小的圈子,直到自我的围墙一点一点地倒塌下来,自己的生活慢慢地和整个宇宙的生活融合在一起;个人的存在应该像一条河流,开始很小,被紧紧地夹在两岸中间,接着热情奔放地冲过巨石,飞下瀑布;然后河面渐渐地变宽,两岸后撤,河水流得平缓起来,最后连绵不断地汇入大海,毫无痛苦地失去了自我的存在;上了年纪的人这样看待生命,就不会有惧怕死亡的心情了,因为自己关心的一切事件都会继续下去;再者,随着精力的衰退,老年人的疲惫会增长,有长眠的愿望未尝不是一件好事情,我希望工作到死为止,明白了有人会继续我的未竟事业,想到能做的事都做了,也就坦然了;Lesson 12Banks and their customers银行和顾客任何人在银行开一个活期账户,就等于把钱借给了银行;这笔钱他可以随时提取,提取的方式可以是取现金,也可以是开一张以他人为收款人的支票;银行与储户的关系主要是债务人和债权人的关系;究竟谁是债务人谁是债权人,要看储户是有结余还是透支;除了这一基本的简单的概念外,银行和储户彼此还需承担大量义务;其中许多义务往往引起问题和纠纷;但是储户不能像货物的买主那样来抱怨法律对自己不利;银行必须遵照储户的嘱托办事,不能听从其他人的指令;比如,储户首次在银行开户时,嘱咐银行他的存款只能凭本世人签字的支票来提取;他把自己签名的样本交给银行,对此有一条非常严格的规定：银行没有任何权利或理由把储户的钱让伪造储户的支票取走;即使伪造得很巧妙,也不能付款,因为银行有责任辨认出其储户的签名;因此,某些银行已采用把储户印在支票上的作法;这种做法对储户毫无风险;如果因这种作法出现了伪造的话,受损失的将不是储户,而是银行;Lesson 13The search for oil探寻石油在所有洞穴中,为寻找石油所钻出的洞是最深的,这些洞可深达25,000英尺;但是,我们不必像开采其他矿藏那样,把人送到地下去把石油取出;这些洞只不过是一些钻孔,直径不到1英尺;我是专门搞石油的,寻找石油比其他任何采矿业对改进钻探作的贡献都要大;当确定钻孔地点后,我们就在那里竖起一个井架;井架必须很高,因为它像一个巨型滑轮组;我们必须把很长的钻杆一节节地钻入地下,然后再从地下拉出来;钻杆顶部安装的发动机带动钻杆旋转,它的底部装有钻头;地质学家需要知道钻头已以到达什么样的岩层,因此时常要用芯钻头取样;这种钻头能切割一段光滑的圆柱形岩石,从中能看出所钻透的地层;一旦到达油层,石油就会由于地下巨大的压力流到地面上来,这种巨大的压力来自地下天然气或水;这种压力必须加以控制,我们让泥桨顺着钻杆向下循环,用这种方法来控制压力;我们尽量避免使用陈旧天真的喷井方法,那样会浪费石油和天然气;我们要让石油留在井下,直到我们能用一种有控制的方法把它引上来为止;Lesson 14The Butterfly Effect蝴蝶效应世界上最好的两三天以上的天气预报具有很强的猜测性,如果超过六七天,天气预报就没有了任何价值;原因是蝴蝶效应;对于小片的恶劣天气-- 对一个全球性的气象预报员来说,“小”可以意味着雷暴雨和暴风雪-- 任何预测的质量会很快下降;错误和不可靠性上升,接踵而来的是一系列湍流的徵状,从小尘暴和暴风发展到只有卫星上可以看到的席卷整块大陆的旋涡;现代气象模型以一个坐标图来显示,图中每个点大约是间隔60英里;既使是这样,有些开始时的资料也不得不依靠推测,因为地面工作站和卫星不可能看到地球上的每一个地方;假设地球上可以布满传感器,每个相隔1英尺,并按1英尺的间隔从地面一直排列到大气层的顶端;再假定每个传感器都极极端准确地读出了温度、气压、温度和气象学家需要的任何其他数据;在正午时分,一个功能巨大的计算机搜集了所有的资料,并算出在每一个点上12：01、12：02、12：03时可能出现的情况;计算机无法推断出1个月以后的某一天,新泽西州的普林斯顿究竟是晴天还是雨天;正午时分,传感器之间的距离会掩盖计算机无法知道的波动、任何偏平均值的变化;到12：01时,那些波动就已经会在1英尺远的地方造成偏差;很快这种偏差会增加到尺10英的范围,如此等等,一直到全球的范围;Lesson 15Secrecy in industry工业中的秘密有两个因素严重地妨碍工业中科学研究的效率：一是科研工作中普遍存在的保密气氛；二是研究人员缺乏个人自由;任何一项研究都涉及到保密,那些从事科研的人员自然受到了限制;他们不能和其他国家、其他大学、甚至往往不能与本公司的其他部门的同行们进行有效的接触;保密程度自然差别很大;某些大公司进行的研究属于一般和基础的研究,因此不保密对他们才有利;然而,依赖这种研究的很多工艺程序是在完全保密的情况下进行的,直到可以取得专利权的阶段为止;更多的工艺过程根本就不会取得专利权,而是作为秘方保存着;在这化学工业方面尤为突出;同物理和机械工业相比,化学工业中偶然发现的机会要多得多;有时,保密竟达到了这样的程度,即连研究工作的整个性质都不准提及;比如,很多公司向图书馆借阅科技书籍时感到困难,因为它们不愿让人家记下它们公司的名字和借阅的某一本书;他们生怕别的公司的情报人员据此摸到他们可能要从事的某项科研项目;Lesson 16The modern city 现代城市在工业生活的组织中,工厂对工人的生理和精神状态的影响完全被忽视了;现代工业的基本概念是：以最低成本获取最多产品,为的是让某个个人或某一部分人尽可能多地赚钱;现代工业发展起来了,却根本没想到操作机器的人的本质;工厂把一种人为的生存方式强加给工人,却不顾及这种生存方式给工人及其后代带来的影响;大城市的建设毫不关心我们;摩天大楼完全是按这样的需要修建的：每平方英尺地皮取得最大收入和向租房人提供使他满意的办公室和住房;这样就导致了许多摩天大厦拔地而起,大厦内众多的人挤地一起;文明人喜欢这样一种生活方式;在享受自己住宅的舒适和庸俗的豪华时,却没有意识到被剥夺了生活所必需的东西;大得吓人的高楼和阴暗狭窄的街道组成了今日现代化的城市;街道上充斥着汽油味和有毒气体,出租汽车、卡车、公共汽车的噪音刺耳难忍,络绎不绝的人群挤来挤去;显然,现代化的城市不是这居民的利益而规划的;Lesson 17A man-made disease人为的疾病在澳大利亚移民初期,一些有创业精神的移民不明智地把欧洲兔子引进了澳大利亚;这种兔子在澳大利亚及新西兰没有天敌,因此便以兔子所特有的杂乱交配迅猛繁殖起来;整个澳洲兔子成灾;它们在地下打洞,吃掉本可以饲养数百万头牛羊的牧草,给澳洲大陆造成了毁灭性的破坏;科学家们发现,这种特殊品种的兔子显然不包括别的动物易患一种叫“多发性粘液瘤”的致命毒性疾病;通过让染上此病的动物在洞内乱跑,就可以使这种疾病在一个地区蔓延起来;后来又发现,有一种蚊子是传播这种疾病的媒介,能把此病传染给兔子;因此,世界上其他地方在设法消灭蚊子的时候,澳大利亚却在促使这种蚊子大量繁殖;蚊子把这种疾病扩散到整个澳洲大陆,效果甚佳,结果兔子的数目在为减少;后来,明显看出,兔子对这种疾病已产生了一定程度的免疫力,所以兔子不可能被完全消灭;但是,已有希望解决兔子所带来的问题;具有讽刺意味的是,欧洲把这种兔子作为有害动物传给澳洲,而欧洲自己却染上了这种人为的瘟疫般的疾病;一位法国内科医生决定除掉自己庄园内的野兔子,于是引进了这种多发性粘液瘤疾病;然而,这种疾病并未被局限在他的庄园内,结果在整个法国蔓延开来;野兔在法国一般不被当作有害动物,而被视为打猎取乐的玩物和有用的食物Lesson 18Porpoises海豚长期以来,海员中流传着一种迷信的说法,认为海豚会把快要淹死的人托到水面,救人性命；或在人们周围列队保护,使他们免遭鲨鱼伤害;海洋摄影室的生物学家指出,无论海豚多么聪明,认为它们有救人的动机可能。

85版新概念英语第四册第十课Lesson 10 Thoughts in the WildernessIn our new society there is a growing dislike of original,creative men.The manipulated do not understand them;the manipulators fear them.The tidy committee men regard them with horror,knowing that no pigeonholes can be found for them.We could do with a few original,creative men in our political life-if only to create some enthusiasm,release some energy--but where are they?We are asked to choose between various shades of the negative.The engine is falling to pieces while the joint owners of the car argue whether the footbrake or the handbrake should be applied.Notice how the cold,colourless men,without ideas and with no other passion but a craving for success,get on in this society,capturing one plum after another and taking the juice and taste out of them.Sometimes you might think the machines we worship make all the chief appointments,promoting the human beings who seem closest to them.Between midnight and dawn,when sleep will not come and all the old wounds begin to ache,I often have a nightmare vision of a future world in which there are billions of people,all numbered and registered,with not a gleam of genius anywhere,not an original mind,a rich personality,onthe whole packed globe.The twin ideals of our time,organization and quantity,will have won for ever.。

新概念英语85年上外美音版第四册第10课：ThoughtsintheWilderness
Lesson 10 Thoughts in the Wilderness 荒野⾥的遐想In our new society there is a growing dislike of original, creative men. The manipulated do not understand them; the manipulators fear them. The tidy committee men regard them with horror, knowing that no pigeonholes can be found for them. We could do with a few original, creative men in our political life-if only to create some enthusiasm, release some energy--but where are they? We are asked to choose between various shades of the negative. The engine is falling to pieces while the joint owners of the car argue whether the footbrake or the handbrake should be applied. Notice how the cold, colourless men, without ideas and with no other passion but a craving for success, get on in this society, capturing one plum after another and taking the juice and taste out of them. Sometimes you might think the machines we worship make all the chief appointments, promoting the human beings who seem closest to them. Between midnight and dawn, when sleep will not come and all the old wounds begin to ache,I often have a nightmare vision of a future world in which there are billions of people, all numbered and registered, with not a gleam of genius anywhere, not an original mind, a rich personality, on the whole packed globe. The twin ideals of our time, organization and quantity, will have won for ever.。

新概念英语第四册 Lesson10：Silicon valley
Lesson 10
Silicon1 valley
硅谷
First listen and then answer the following question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
What does the computer industry thrive on apart from
anarchy2?
Technology trends may push Silicon Valley back to the future. Carver Mead3, a pioneer in integrated circuits and a
professor of computer science at the California Institute of Technology, notes there are now work-stations that enable engineers to design, test and produce chips right on their desks, much the way an editor creates a newsletter on a Macintosh. As the time and cost of making a chip drop to a
few days and a few hundred dollars, engineers may soon be
free to let their imaginations soar without being penalized5
by expensive failures. Mead predicts that inventors will be able to perfect powerful customized chips over a weekend at
the office -- spawning7 a new generation of garage start-ups and giving the U.S. a jump on its foreign rivals in getting new products to market fast. 'We're got more garages with smart people,' Mead observes. 'We really thrive on anarchy.'
And on Asians. Already, orientals and Asian Americans
constitute the majority of the engineering staffs at many Valley firms. And Chinese, Korean, Filipino and Indian
engineers are graduating in droves from California's colleges. As the heads of next-generation start-ups, these Asian innovators can draw on customs and languages to forge righter links with crucial Pacific Rim9 markets. For instance, Alex Au, a Stanford Ph. D. from Hong Kong, has set up a Taiwan factory to challenge Japan's near lock on the memory-chip market. India-born N.Damodar Reddy's tiny California company reopened an AT & T chip plant in Kansas City last spring with financing from the state of Missouri. Before it becomes a retirement10 village, Silicon Valley may prove a classroom
for building a global business.
