硅谷人在向全世界推销他们的梦想之前,首先要自己相信这些所谓“革命性”的新技术会成功,而且是有益的,虽然事实上并不总是这样。这种执着、乐观、甚至有些幼稚的态度也影响到他们的下一代。从小耳濡目染,硅谷孩子喜爱高科技,崇尚创新,敢于创业。这些特性通过每年一度的“科技的启迪和奖励”(FIRST)机器人大赛,就可以看出。 Before people in Silicon Valley sell their dreams to the world, they must first believe that these so-called “revolutionary” new technologies will be successful and useful, though not always. This persistent, optimistic and even naive attitude also affects their next generation. Since childhood, monks and babies, Silicon Valley children love high technology, advocating innovation and daring to start a business. These features are evident through the annual “FIRST Robotics Contest.”
