Episode description as stored

In 1957, eight young engineers walked away from one of the most important laboratories in America and, in doing so, helped create the modern technology industry. Their break with a Nobel Prize-winning inventor physicist set off a chain reaction of innovation, investment, and entrepreneurship that transformed a quiet region of California into Silicon Valley. The companies they founded and the people they inspired would shape everything from computers to smartphones, and their influence can still be felt today.
