Have you Heard of Silicon Valley? “If you want to be super-rich, move to Silicon Valley”. Well, let me tell you it’s not a piece of cake to get there. It is home to more Billionaires than any other country after China and US; home to world’s largest high-tech corporations and thousands of start-ups - a Mecca for all Tech entrepreneurs. It lives and breathes within San Francisco – the city of the unexpected, unforeseen, and the common. It is a nickname for the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. The word "Valley" refers to the Santa Clara Valley and the word ‘Silicon’ refers to all the silicon chip producers and developers of that region. And, both the words together refer to all hi-tech and top notch businesses; and its name is apparently used a metonym for the high-technology American economic sector. It’s located in the southern portion of San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco houses the famous Golden Gate Bridge’ - where travellers from all across the globe come to visit. Here, you will also find people taking pictures outside Google, Facebook, Apple and other tech giant companies – as if it has somehow transcended into a monument of historical value. Well, to an extent it has – they have become the most widely known brand names in the world and have huge impact on the minds of today's generation.
