Silicon Valley – America’s High Tech Centre
Silicon Valley is located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay area. It originally got its name from the large number of companies that produced silicon chips. Today it is a general name for the high-tech industry of Northern California.
The beginning of Silicon Valley goes back to the early 20th century when the United States military and other companies started experimenting in the fields of radio, communications and electronics. The area also grew because Stanford and other universities and colleges produced a number of students who were interested in technology.
One of the first companies that started in Silicon Valley was Hewlett Packard. It was founded by two graduates of Stanford University in 1939. Today HP is the world’s largest technology company and operates in almost all countries in the world. After World War II an industrial park was built around Stanford University. Companies rented offices from the university and employed students as engineers and scientists.
In the 1950s the silicon transistor was developed and many companies started moving into the region. In the 1970s Silicon Valley became a well-known term in the United States because of the computer and software firms that were founded in the area. About a hundred new companies were established every year. Such growth was possible because people could found a company, get money and rent office space in only a few weeks. Among the well-known companies in the region are search engines Google and Yahoo!, chip producer Intel, computer and software manufacturers Apple and Adobe.
By 1992 Silicon Valley accounted for over 250,000 jobs and over 40% of California’s exports. Companies began calling in specialists from China and India because more and more high-tech scientists and engineers were needed.
When the Internet boom began in the 1990s a number of new so-called dot.com enterprises sprang up, including the online auction house eBay and others. When the boom collapsed at the beginning of the new millennium, thousands of high tech workers lost their jobs and couldn’t afford the high housing prices that the area produced. But even after the global financial crisis of 2008 Silicon Valley remains one of the top research and high-tech center in the world.

“Os juros e todas novas regras se aplicam somente aos contratos novos. Você não pode mudar um contrato por vontade unilateral. O governo firmou um contrato com milhões de estudantes com determinadas regras e essas regras serão mantidas e respeitadas”.

Esta fala do Ministro da Educação brasileiro comenta um programa de incentivo educacional que o Governo Federal mantém e que gerou muitas discussões no primeiro semestre de 2015 A qual programa o trecho se refere?
“No mesmo dia em que o primeiro-ministro grego, Alexis Tsipras, apelou para a população votar “não” no referendo marcado para o próximo domingo, uma pesquisa divulgada pelo instituto GPO, que ouviu mil pessoas em toda a Grécia, afirmou que o “sim” aparece na frente, com 47,1% dos entrevistados”.

Numa entrevista exclusiva ao Jornal Nacional, o ministro da Fazenda, Joaquim Levy, disse que controlar a inflação e pôr as contas públicas em ordem são as grandes preocupações do governo.
Disponível em:<http://g1.globo.com/jornal-nacional/noticia/2015/06/controle-da-inflacao-e-contas-em-ordem-sao-prioridade-afirma-levy.html> Acesso em: 19/06/15
Na linha do exposto acima, segundo o ministro da Fazenda, deve-se partir do princípio de que nesse momento “o Brasil só gasta o que arrecada”. De acordo com Levy, tal princípio não só se estabelece como é favorecido a partir da lei de:
Maiores bacias hidrográficas do mundo estão secando
Pesquisas da NASA indicam escassez de água em alguns pontos do planeta. O motivo: consumo humano desenfreado
17/06/2015 - 17H06/ ATUALIZADO 17H0606 / POR FERNANDO BUMBEERS
De acordo com dois novos estudos conduzidos pela Universidade da Califórnia (UCI), usando dados da NASA, cerca de 33% das maiores bacias hidrográficas da Terra estão ficando secas através do consumo humano. Para completar, ainda temos poucos dados precisos sobre a quantidade de água presente nessas bacias - ou seja, não sabemos quanta água nos resta. Isto significa que a população está consumindo água subterrânea muito rápido, sem saber ao certo quanto ainda podemos consumir. "As medições físicas e químicas disponíveis são insuficientes", diz o professor da UCI e líder da pesquisa Jay Famiglietti. "Dada a rapidez com que estamos consumindo as reservas de água subterrânea do mundo, precisamos de um esforço global coordenado para determinar quanto ainda podemos usar."
Os estudos foram realizados através dos satélites GRACE, da NASA. O GRACE mede ondulações e relevos na superfície da Terra afetados pela massa de água. No primeiro artigo, os pesquisadores descobriram que 13 dos 37 maiores aquíferos do planeta foram se esgotando enquanto recebiam pouca ou nenhuma recarga: oito foram classificados como “em perigo”, com quase nenhuma reposição natural para compensar o uso. Os outros cinco foram considerados em estado de atenção - esses aquíferos estão se esgotando, mas ainda têm algum tipo de recarga natural.
A equipe de investigação constatou que o Sistema Aquífero árabe, uma fonte de água importante para mais de 60 milhões de pessoas, é o que mais corre perigo. O aquífero da bacia Indus, da Índia e Paquistão, é o segundo da lista e a Bacia do Murzuk-Djado, no norte da África, fecha o pódio.
Das três bacias que abastecem o Brasil, apenas uma, a Bacia Guarani, está em um estado “preocupante”. As outras duas - Bacia do Maranhão e Bacia Amazônica - estão em bom estado.
"Nós realmente não sabemos quanto é armazenado em cada um destes aquíferos. Estimamos que o armazenamento restante pode variar de décadas a milênios", disse a coautora do estudo Alexandra Richey. "Em uma sociedade com escassez de água, não podemos mais tolerar este nível de incerteza, especialmente sabendo que as águas subterrâneas estão desaparecendo tão rapidamente."
