Silicon Valley predictions
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Silicon Valley, the San Francisco Chronicle has interviewed several CEOs from major technology companies to share their predictions about the future.
Just to highlight the key messages, Google’s Eric Schmidt wants to foster willingness to look for unconventional ways to solve problems. On the other hand, Umang Gupta of Keynote Systems Inc. believes the mobile Internet is the next big thing and Intel’s Paul Otellini hopes for more creativity, capital, and focus but fears complacency.
Cisco’s John Chambers shares the fear of Otellini but wants to have more courage to evolve and collaborate even with direct competitors. TJ Rodgers of Cypress Semiconductor has this greatest hope of resolving the current energy problem while O’Reilly Media Tim O’Reilly dreams of affordable housing for service workers.
Although I’m not a CEO, I hope that a new Valley will emerge to foster competition, take creativity to a higher level, and trigger creative disruption.

More on John Chambers and collaboration on his first written blog entry here: http://blogs.cisco.com/collaboration/.
He states, in part: “We are on the cusp of a new era where the Internet is transforming businesses large and small, and creating an entirely new environment for today’s workforce to communicate, collaborate and achieve. We have an opportunity to usher in a new era of economic growth and productivity and Internet-driven collaboration technologies are at the core of this transformation.”
