Technology is now in our DNA. Human existence can no longer continue without the ongoing aid from our silicon-based brethren. Society now glorifies the noble men and women who created the most significant technological advances with little more than a dream and a garage. Stories of Jobs, Gates, Wozniak, and Perlman have entered a state of folklore in American Society. These ambitious creators all came together in one place like a divine being was drawing them together. They built their Camelot in a series of small towns outside of San Francisco, California, a place we now refer to as Silicon Valley.
What if I were to tell you that Camelot is crumbling down. Like most bastions of innovation, the flame of creativity eventually dims away, and a stronger force of conformity, profits, and structure takes its place. In the past several years, new and old technology companies are setting out to find a new frontier to develop the next technology age. Companies like Apple, Google, Tesla, and Oracle are announcing or have already moved significant operations into Texas from California. This is not even mentioning the hundreds of technology startups founded in the state of Texas this year.
However, many in the tech world believe that this sudden move to Texas is nothing more than a fad. In the coming years, many small startups hope to break the chains of larger corporations and reignite the spark of creativity that put Silicon Valley on the map.
In the coming days, I will share with you all the evidence for and against Texas overshadowing California in the world of Technology. We will also discuss the social and political ramifications of such a large migration of people from California to Texas.
