The west coast California is orange, bright sunshine, a golden coast. On both sides of the road and in the valley are continuous orchards. This is the origin of the famous new fruits, such as new orange, grapefruit, lemon, etc., as well as California's open . The warm and enthusiastic California sunshine has created a good environment for these high-quality fruits.
California, full of sunshine and beaches, especially beach beauties in bikini clothes, that is a beautiful view in their dreams. Maritime activities in California are very fun, and surfing, whale watching, swimming and sailing are all extremely popular sports. This kind of unrestrained life also flows with an inexplicable restless blood, and is born to like to take risks and break through the rules.
In addition to playing on the beach, the warm sunshine in California is also enjoyable. The good geographical location factor also makes California famous overseas because of the gathering of most famous higher education institutions in the western United States. In addition, the wise people and the entrepreneurial spirit of not fearing difficulties make this land full of vitality and the feeling of spring all year round.
Now called Silicon Valley This land has been inhabited by Indians. In the 1840s, because of the rise of " gold rush ", many people came to California. But the lucky ones who can find gold are only a few. When many "gold diggers" were about to return in disappointment, they found another "gold" around the gold digger - the Santa Clara Valley, which has fertile soil and is suitable for growing crops, and settled down.
In the vast land of the west, a group of fearless pioneers. In American history, they were pioneers in developing the West, full of adventure and hard-working spirit, and were called "heroes on horseback." This is the earliest life of " Western Cowboy ".
Under the influence of the early Western spirit of the United States, the world-famous Silicon Valley was born here. The spirit of Silicon Valley is "allowing failed innovation, advocating competition, and equal opening up!
There is no interference from family factors here, and there is no need to worry about failure in entrepreneurship and blushing. They have an unyielding spirit of adventure, which is worthy of our contemplation and learning.
Our country is currently in the most difficult turning point in the history of reform. The three years of epidemic have made our lives full of ignorant variables.

The Russian-Ukrainian war broke through the entire The face of the integration of the ball division of labor and cooperation, the excessive issuance of currency and Fed continuous hikes will definitely lead to the reorganization of the global economic order and the reorganization of resources. What should we do in this era?
pessimism and lying flatness cannot solve the problem. Success and failure are not in a city or a pool, and the pattern cares about every word and deed. So in the face of difficulties, we need the spirit of Silicon Valley. We need to open up our thinking, constantly innovate, and move forward bravely.
There is a saying in Silicon Valley: Without Professor Terman, there would be no Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley and Silicon Valley culture can lead global innovation, and Terman is the founder of all this, so he is called the "father of Silicon Valley".
Although he has never started a business or opened a company, he seamlessly combines university wisdom with physical industry, providing an important foundation for the fourth industrial revolution of mankind.

Frey Derek Terman, born on June 7, 1900 in , Indiana, . His entire family is a "school master". His father, Louis Terman, is an , Stanford University, who promotes IQ tests in the United States. His mother, Anna Bell Mington Terman, attended the Central Normal College in Danville, Indiana, and teaches English in a nearby school. When Frederick was 10 years old, his father was hired as an associate professor of education at Stanford and moved his family to Palo Alto. Old Terman has long been following and studying human intellectual development and is an authority on studying human IQ and genius children.
In 1916, Old Terman published the "Stanford-Bine" intelligence measurement table, which adopted the concept of ratio IQ for the first time and used IQ as an indicator to compare the level of human intelligence. This is the first quantitative measurement of human intelligence. Old Terman later served as the head of the Stanford Department of Psychology and the chairman of the American Psychological Society. He is a famous American psychologist.
Teman grew up on the Stanford University campus. He was weak and sickly since childhood and entered elementary school at the age of 10. At this age, I don’t look like a top student.
But Teman was extremely smart, just like drinking red wine. He didn't feel it at first, but his stamina was particularly strong. He completed his studies from elementary school to doctoral degree in just 15 years. This family gene was quite surprising.
Teman is a serious guy, slim and wears glasses, irrefined and not neglected. While studying at Palo Alto High School, Terman participated in the debate and served as vice president of the Student Union. He is an excellent track and field player and also loves rugby sports.
Teman is not just a top student, but has super hands-on ability. In 1913, 13-year-old Terman installed a radio, which deepened his understanding of radio theory.
In high school, Tyman went to Federal Telegraph Company to learn radio knowledge from company employees as long as there were no extracurricular activities. Seeing the people around him playing amateur radio and the two tall receiving towers of Federal Telegraph, Terman was deeply attracted.
At this time, it was World War I , and the strong European countries were busy fighting. Terman's father and his colleagues seized the opportunity to start a business in the city of Palo Alto to produce radio communication equipment for the Allied Navy.
has continuously made up for Stanford University's fiscal gap and added bonuses to everyone. In this way, during the holidays, you can buy more lobster to supplement brain cells.
In 1909, Charles Herold, who graduated from Stanford, established the first commercial wireless radio station in history in San Jose. Herold served as director and engineer, and his wife served as announcer. The station caused a huge sensation among the teenagers in San Francisco Bay Area , spawning a group of amateur radio stations and interest groups.
Teman is one of the fanatics. He and his two neighbors' children immediately tickled an amateur radio station. They are both academic masters and have strong execution ability. One of them was the son of Stanford professor of chemistry and the other was the son of later U.S. President Herbert Hoover.
Later, Terman was very proud of this story: "I was very happy to remember the past. At that time, our three families were neighbors. We happily fiddled with our new things, tried its functions, and then opened the window and asked loudly whether the partner opposite him heard the sound here." (For this point, we Chinese parents should also learn it, don't pursue scores too much, and the children's practical ability is also very important)
In 1917, Terman graduated from high school and naturally entered Stanford University, majoring in mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and electrical engineering were the best majors in early Stanford.
The second year at Stanford, Terman suddenly transferred to the chemistry department. The transfer of Terman has always been a mystery. After going to college, Terman often attended lectures held by Federal Telegraph at Stanford and benefited a lot from it. He was deeply impressed by the mutual benefit of the alliance between enterprises and universities. It also laid the foundation for the later promotion of the establishment and development of Silicon Valley.
The growth of a person determines his future development trajectory. Tyman is not only a top student, but also has a business philosophy.
In 1920, Terman graduated from undergraduate studies and went to work for the Federal Telegraph Company. He believed that his future career was to be an excellent engineer at Federal Telegraph, and for this reason, he returned to Stanford to study for graduate school. Terman completed twice the course in six semesters, impressing the department’s professors, including department chair Harris Ryan, and Eihuill’s mentor.
Teman obtained a master's degree, developed a peak voltmeter, and also had a girlfriend. After getting married and starting a career, Teman's life began to move towards a new turning point.

One week after graduating from Stanford, Terman applied to study for his Ph.D. at Boston Polytechnic University (the predecessor of MIT (MIThings Institute of Technology). This choice is very wise. At that time, MIT had the most authoritative professor of electronic engineering in the 20th century.
At MIT, he was lucky and met Dr. Wannival Bush, the inventor of simulated computers and a pioneer of information technology in the United States.
Bush was the scientific advisor to the president of WWII Roosevelt . After World War II, Bush facilitated the establishment of institutions such as National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Advanced Research Programme (ARPA).
Bush is also a super academic master. He spent a year at the age of 26 to obtain a joint doctorate from MIT and Harvard University .
1919, Bush returned to MIT to teach and was promoted to professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering four years later. During this period, Bush and his college roommates established the "American Equipment Company". In 1925, the company was renamed "Hyper" (Raytheon), which was later the most famous arms dealer in the United States - Raytheon Company .
The two have similar experiences, but their personalities are completely different. Bush was the dean of MIT, and Terman later served as the dean of Stanford. Terman likes behind the scenes, and does not like to show up, be ignorant, behave weirdly, be enthusiastic and help others, and ignore personal gains and losses; while Bush dresses well and is good at politics, he is a favorite character in the academic world and Washington.
Facts have proved that in the development of life, you must not only be smart, but also follow the right boss.
Under Bush's guidance, Terman's academic progress has been rapid. But he learned more from Bush than anything else outside of the classroom. Bush's belief that electronic technology will inevitably change the world, and the idea that "universities must not only engage in academics, but also become research and development centers" have also become Terman's belief. Thirty years later, this belief flourished in Stanford and Silicon Valley.
In 1924, Terman obtained a doctorate in electrical engineering and was immediately hired by Bush as an assistant teacher at MIT. But fate sometimes makes people joke. Terman suffered from tuberculosis when he went back to Stanford to visit relatives, and he had to stay in Stanford to recuperate.
No company was willing to hire him during his illness. But his teacher, Professor Ryan's sincerity to Terman, allowed him to taste the true feelings of the world. After recovering from his illness, Terman stayed at Stanford and served as professor of electronic and electrical engineering and director of the electronic communications laboratory. Of course, Mr. Bush and MIT did not forget him and reserved his position for him.
So, a good character is very important and can play a huge role at critical moments, so that your life will not be detours.
Teman is the most diligent among Stanford faculty and staff, working seven days a week. He once served as the chief supervisor for half of his department's graduate students. Teman is humble, doesn't talk much, and is dressed dull and a little dull. But as soon as he stepped onto the podium, he spoke with great words and was pleasant to the lecture.
Teman has always been keen on encouraging the best students to become entrepreneurs and make a name for themselves. Nine months before Hitler invaded Polish , Terman also convinced two of his favorite Stanford students, Hewlett and Packard, to start a company named after their own name in the town, the later famous HP company.
In November 1929, a blizzard broke out in the eastern United States, and many areas were blocked by heavy snow, railways and air transportation were interrupted, and several ships sank to the bottom of the sea. This natural disaster kicked off the Great Depression in the United States. The Great Depression caused 15 million people to lose their jobs across the United States. The Stanford teachers and students in crisis and depression attempt to change this irresistible fate.
Teman, who has gone through the Great Depression, knows that for engineering students, entrepreneurship is the best way out. Terman took them to the San Francisco Bay Area Electronics Company for an internship, visiting those who were initially engaged in the electronics industry. During these activities, students are exposed to the latest achievements of future bosses or employees and electronics.
Later, Silicon Valley elites often said that when Professor Terman took his motor students to intern in the San Francisco Bay Area, he sowed the seeds of entrepreneurship for Silicon Valley.
Teman was the most outstanding radio expert of that era. His achievements were not due to his academic achievements, but from his extraordinary teaching ability, leadership ability and social activity ability, especially his innovative contribution to the combination of university and industry.
In the era of radio prosperity, MIT no longer paid attention to this popular technology. From 1920 to 1925, radio retail sales increased from US$2 million to US$325 million. The broadcast period also increased significantly, and advertising revenue also increased significantly.
However, MIT professors no longer study radio: Winner 's interest returned to mathematics, Kennelly retired, and Bush became a politician.
However, Stanford seized the opportunity. When the word "electronics" was not available in the dictionary, Terman had already started writing the textbook "Radio Engineering", a radio engineering textbook.
This book has been reprinted many times and has far-reaching influence. It is a classic textbook for the American electronic engineering major. The royalties of the book are much higher than his income as a university professor, supporting his research on 36 patents from 1930 to 1947. In 1937, Terman became the head of the Department of Electrical Engineering. With his hard work, Stanford became the banner of the West in terms of motors, communications, etc.

In December 1941, the United States declared war on Japan and Germany.
Allied forces took off from Britain and started fighting. When they passed the English Channel , they were discovered and hit by the Germans because Germany had established a complete electronic air defense system in 1942.
In France, Germany has installed hundreds of early warning radars . Moreover, the German fighter was equipped with the radar in 1942. This is the earliest air traffic control system in mankind. The system is very efficient. A total of 40,000 aircraft from the Allied Forces were shot down or could not be repaired. The US military was killed 79,265 and the British military was 79,281, with an average age of 20 years.
Allied forces realized that the German air defense system is very advanced and powerful. They have to study the system. The United States has established a highly confidential Harvard Radio Research Laboratory at Harvard University, which has gathered 800 elite academic masters from all walks of life to study communication intelligence and electronic warfare.
In 1942, at the invitation of his teacher Bush, Terman came to the Harvard Radio Institute to engage in military research and development for World War II and served as the leader of the laboratory.
They developed a series of electronic products to break through Germany's air defense system. In order to make the German radar fail, the Allies scattered a large number of special width aluminum strips into the air to ineffective the radar. This move paralyzes the German air defense system. In July 1943, the coalition forces air strikes on hamburger , completely destroying hamburger. The Allies used foils in World War II as 3/4 of the United States' aluminum foil production. In the end, the Allies won a full victory in the battle against German air.
This war made the big bosses of all countries realize that the winner and loser of the war not only rely on the wise decision-making of the commander, the bravery and will of the warrior, but also depends on the investment of high-tech products. Talents with high IQ have become the key to competing for the world.
The occurrence of World War II permanently changed the relationship between military institutions and schools. Previously, military institutions established their own laboratories and organized their own scientific research. Just like when the Navy was studying airship , although the Navy selected the airship base in Silicon Valley, it had no impact on Silicon Valley.
Teman's teacher Bush is indeed very visionary. Since he served as director of the Office of Research and Development of the U.S. government, he believes that universities can participate in military research. The university obtains scientific research funds directly from the military.
At that time, the four strongest universities in the United States received a lot of scientific research funds. MIT received $115 million, Caltech received $83 million, Harvard and Columbia received $30 million, while Stanford received only $50,000. This made Terman feel very unhappy.
After the battle, Terman returned to Stanford. He is determined to let the government change this prejudice and wants to build Stanfoy into the best microwave and electronic research center in the United States.
Fortunately, Wallace Sterling served as the president of Stanford University. He is an international relations scientist who has meticulous research on the Cold War and has fully recognized the growing importance of research-based universities. He promoted Terman from director of the School of Engineering to provost and agreed to Stanford University's reorganization around Terman's so-called "spire of excellence" to establish majors such as physics, materials science and electrical science.
With the support of the boss, Terman hired all 11 colleagues from Harvard Radio Research Laboratory to Stanford and established the Stanford Electronics Research Laboratory. At first, they could only do basic research.
1946, the U.S. Naval Research Office gave them their first contract. In 1950, Terman had turned Stanford's Institute of Technology into MIT on the West Coast.
1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb . This provided new opportunities for Stanford, and Terman was already ready. The military asked Teman to set up an applied electronics laboratory to engage in confidential military research. This doubled the Stanford Motor System.
Teman's efforts have been well received, and Stanford has become a partner in military industry and government research for the first time. Terman was determined to concentrate Stanford's resources and help the government understand what the Soviet Union was doing. Stanford's two original electronic laboratories: one is doing basic research and the other is doing confidential project research. In 1955, the two laboratories merged.
At this time, the technology, communication intelligence and electronic combat learned by Terman at Harvard became crucial. Stanford has become the scientific research center of the Ministry of National Security (NSA), the CIA , the Navy and the Air Force. The "Cold War" in the form of electronic warfare began like this.
Temann can not only enhance Stanford University's basic scientific research capabilities, but also make Stanford University more focused on engineering applications, concentrating famous professors and laboratory resources into the newly established Stanford University Electronics Laboratory. This research institution quickly became one of the most important reconnaissance and radar system research and development centers in the military.
In just a few years, Stanford University has become one of the largest funding targets for federal research funding and is second to none in academic reputation.
Teman opposes building the university into an ivory tower that is out of reality. Terman and his colleagues also make the most of another huge and unique asset at Stanford: the vast amount of land it owns.
The 36 square kilometers of land bequeathed to the school by the founder of Stanford University has been an expensive burden for many years, and only farmers and ranchers are willing to rent them. But in the rapid development after the war, military funds continued to flow in, new suburban residents were also pouring into the San Francisco Peninsula, and Stanford’s huge real estate turned from a burden on the balance sheet to a money tree.
Everyone was very excited at that time. After so many years, this land was finally valuable. If a commercial house was built for sale, it would be a fortune.
But Terman did not use this land to engage in real estate, and all this Terman did became a turning point in Silicon Valley. Instead, in 1952, they set out to build an advanced industrial research park on an open land with an area of about 1.5 square kilometers.
At the same time, Terman adopted a series of new rules:
first, combining Stanford's cutting-edge disciplines, making Stanford a research and development center for high-tech; at the same time, it unites universities and physical industries to contribute to economic growth, and also provides employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for Stanford graduates.
Second, we must concentrate the school’s financial and material resources, attract world-class scientists, establish cutting-edge research institutes in various disciplines, and cultivate first-class talents who lead the world trend in their majors.
Third, we must strengthen the basic education of the school and make its graduates a technical reserve for the future new industry.
Fourth, strengthen the connection between professors and enterprises. Stanford changed the past patent transfer system, allowing schools' patents to be transferred to companies very quickly, while schools can get a lot of compensation from it.
At that time, no school did this.Terman has a crucial idea: he doesn't want to be a military manufacturing machine. He only does scientific research and consulting, let others build companies, and let the military give them money to start a business. In this way, if you have money and work hard, you can transform brain resources into technological power, and Silicon Valley will soon prosper.
Under Terman's persuasion, local startups HP and Varian became its main tenants when the park opened. East Coast big companies like General Electric and Kodak have joined, which pay high rents to get close to the tech essence of Stanford and the "digital brain." Many local companies have signed partnership plans with Stanford University. Other electronic giants such as Lipton and Xiwannian have also set up microwave tube research labs nearby.
11951, under the promotion of Terman, Stanford set up part of the campus land near Palo Alto (about 580 acres) to establish the Stanford Industrial Park, and build research institutes, laboratories, office buildings, etc. The world's first university industrial park was born.
It’s really not urgent to make money. When you truly understand the principles contained in it, find the wisdom to make money and management skills, and use it reasonably on the target project, you will find that your life is quietly changing.
Hard work pays off. In 1955, seven companies built factories in Stanford Industrial Park, which increased to 32 in 1960 and reached 70 in 1970. In 1980, all 655 acres of land in the research area were rented out, with a total of 90 companies and 250,000 employees. By the late 1990s, there were more than 7,000 such companies. These companies are high-tech companies in the electronics industry, which is the area where Terman has the most personal relationships and is also the area he considers the most promising. Teman threads needles for scientific research and production.
In the 1970s, Silicon Valley became the world's high-tech R&D center for the combination of talent + technology + venture capital. This also makes the Stanford Research Zone a high-tech industrial zone that the United States and the world compete to emulate.
Stanford Industrial Park laid the foundation for Silicon Valley's electronics industry. The revenue it brings provides Stanford with huge financial resources. The advance rent exceeded 18 million, equivalent to the amount Mr. Stanford donated to the university that year. Teman used it to invest heavily in hiring famous masters to enrich the teaching staff and implement the top talent strategy.
The rapid rise of Silicon Valley has brought direct returns to Stanford with money, and it also brings a steady stream of intellectual resources and vibrant development vitality to Stanford. With the advantages of Silicon Valley's technological development, Stanford also has a considerable patent transfer fee. From 1954 to 1967, Stanford's patent transfer fee was around US$45,000. However, from the founding of Stanford's Technology Licensing Office in 1970 to 1998, Stanford's patent transfer revenue reached US$300 million. The company delivered by Stanford earns $100 billion a year.
1991, the fundraising amount during the 100th anniversary of Stanford's school reached astronomical figure of US$12.6 billion, which is a new record in the history of higher education, and even Harvard is beyond the reach. From academic research, this former "country university" surpassed Harvard, , Yale and Princeton, ranking first among universities in the United States.
● In 1959, Terman was appointed vice president of Stanford University.
● In 1964, Terman became an initial member of the National Academy of Engineering.
● In 1965, Terman retired. He was immediately hired as an honorary consultant to the Society of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE).
● In 1975, Terman won the National Science Award .
● In 1982, Terman won the first prize of the International Electronic Technology Educator in Centennial (1882-1982).
On December 19, 1982, Professor Terman passed away in Silicon Valley. Professor Terman is an engineer among engineers. He truly understands the beauty of technology. He does not care about empty talk and likes to work hard. Terman and his students laid the foundation for Silicon Valley.
Without Professor Terman, there would be no Silicon Valley. Professor Terman is the veritable father of Silicon Valley.

The system is very efficient. A total of 40,000 aircraft from the Allied Forces were shot down or could not be repaired. The US military was killed 79,265 and the British military was 79,281, with an average age of 20 years.
Allied forces realized that the German air defense system is very advanced and powerful. They have to study the system. The United States has established a highly confidential Harvard Radio Research Laboratory at Harvard University, which has gathered 800 elite academic masters from all walks of life to study communication intelligence and electronic warfare.
In 1942, at the invitation of his teacher Bush, Terman came to the Harvard Radio Institute to engage in military research and development for World War II and served as the leader of the laboratory.
They developed a series of electronic products to break through Germany's air defense system. In order to make the German radar fail, the Allies scattered a large number of special width aluminum strips into the air to ineffective the radar. This move paralyzes the German air defense system. In July 1943, the coalition forces air strikes on hamburger , completely destroying hamburger. The Allies used foils in World War II as 3/4 of the United States' aluminum foil production. In the end, the Allies won a full victory in the battle against German air.
This war made the big bosses of all countries realize that the winner and loser of the war not only rely on the wise decision-making of the commander, the bravery and will of the warrior, but also depends on the investment of high-tech products. Talents with high IQ have become the key to competing for the world.
The occurrence of World War II permanently changed the relationship between military institutions and schools. Previously, military institutions established their own laboratories and organized their own scientific research. Just like when the Navy was studying airship , although the Navy selected the airship base in Silicon Valley, it had no impact on Silicon Valley.
Teman's teacher Bush is indeed very visionary. Since he served as director of the Office of Research and Development of the U.S. government, he believes that universities can participate in military research. The university obtains scientific research funds directly from the military.
At that time, the four strongest universities in the United States received a lot of scientific research funds. MIT received $115 million, Caltech received $83 million, Harvard and Columbia received $30 million, while Stanford received only $50,000. This made Terman feel very unhappy.
After the battle, Terman returned to Stanford. He is determined to let the government change this prejudice and wants to build Stanfoy into the best microwave and electronic research center in the United States. The west coast California is orange, bright sunshine, a golden coast. On both sides of the road and in the valley are continuous orchards. This is the origin of the famous new fruits, such as new orange, grapefruit, lemon, etc., as well as California's open . The warm and enthusiastic California sunshine has created a good environment for these high-quality fruits. California, full of sunshine and beaches, especially beach beauties in bikini clothes, that is a beautiful view in their dreams. Maritime activities in California are very fun, and surfing, whale watching, swimming and sailing are all extremely popular sports. This kind of unrestrained life also flows with an inexplicable restless blood, and is born to like to take risks and break through the rules. In addition to playing on the beach, the warm sunshine in California is also enjoyable. The good geographical location factor also makes California famous overseas because of the gathering of most famous higher education institutions in the western United States. In addition, the wise people and the entrepreneurial spirit of not fearing difficulties make this land full of vitality and the feeling of spring all year round. Now called Silicon Valley This land has been inhabited by Indians. In the 1840s, because of the rise of " gold rush ", many people came to California. But the lucky ones who can find gold are only a few. When many "gold diggers" were about to return in disappointment, they found another "gold" around the gold digger - the Santa Clara Valley, which has fertile soil and is suitable for growing crops, and settled down. In the vast land of the west, a group of fearless pioneers. In American history, they were pioneers in developing the West, full of adventure and hard-working spirit, and were called "heroes on horseback." This is the earliest life of " Western Cowboy ". Under the influence of the early Western spirit of the United States, the world-famous Silicon Valley was born here. The spirit of Silicon Valley is "allowing failed innovation, advocating competition, and equal opening up! There is no interference from family factors here, and there is no need to worry about failure in entrepreneurship and blushing. They have an unyielding spirit of adventure, which is worthy of our contemplation and learning. Our country is currently in the most difficult turning point in the history of reform. The three years of epidemic have made our lives full of ignorant variables. Unemployment in middle age, failed to start a business, and trapped investment. Due to the influence of the new sales model, a large number of physical stores have been laid off. The Russian-Ukrainian war broke through the entire The face of the integration of the ball division of labor and cooperation, the excessive issuance of currency and Fed continuous hikes will definitely lead to the reorganization of the global economic order and the reorganization of resources. What should we do in this era?
pessimism and lying flatness cannot solve the problem. Success and failure are not in a city or a pool, and the pattern cares about every word and deed. So in the face of difficulties, we need the spirit of Silicon Valley. We need to open up our thinking, constantly innovate, and move forward bravely.
There is a saying in Silicon Valley: Without Professor Terman, there would be no Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley and Silicon Valley culture can lead global innovation, and Terman is the founder of all this, so he is called the "father of Silicon Valley".
Although he has never started a business or opened a company, he seamlessly combines university wisdom with physical industry, providing an important foundation for the fourth industrial revolution of mankind.
Frederick Terman
NO.1｜1
Frey Derek Terman, born on June 7, 1900 in , Indiana, . His entire family is a "school master". His father, Louis Terman, is an , Stanford University, who promotes IQ tests in the United States. His mother, Anna Bell Mington Terman, attended the Central Normal College in Danville, Indiana, and teaches English in a nearby school. When Frederick was 10 years old, his father was hired as an associate professor of education at Stanford and moved his family to Palo Alto. Old Terman has long been following and studying human intellectual development and is an authority on studying human IQ and genius children.
In 1916, Old Terman published the "Stanford-Bine" intelligence measurement table, which adopted the concept of ratio IQ for the first time and used IQ as an indicator to compare the level of human intelligence. This is the first quantitative measurement of human intelligence. Old Terman later served as the head of the Stanford Department of Psychology and the chairman of the American Psychological Society. He is a famous American psychologist.
Teman grew up on the Stanford University campus. He was weak and sickly since childhood and entered elementary school at the age of 10. At this age, I don’t look like a top student.
But Teman was extremely smart, just like drinking red wine. He didn't feel it at first, but his stamina was particularly strong. He completed his studies from elementary school to doctoral degree in just 15 years. This family gene was quite surprising.
Teman is a serious guy, slim and wears glasses, irrefined and not neglected. While studying at Palo Alto High School, Terman participated in the debate and served as vice president of the Student Union. He is an excellent track and field player and also loves rugby sports.
Teman is not just a top student, but has super hands-on ability. In 1913, 13-year-old Terman installed a radio, which deepened his understanding of radio theory.
In high school, Tyman went to Federal Telegraph Company to learn radio knowledge from company employees as long as there were no extracurricular activities. Seeing the people around him playing amateur radio and the two tall receiving towers of Federal Telegraph, Terman was deeply attracted.
At this time, it was World War I , and the strong European countries were busy fighting. Terman's father and his colleagues seized the opportunity to start a business in the city of Palo Alto to produce radio communication equipment for the Allied Navy.
has continuously made up for Stanford University's fiscal gap and added bonuses to everyone. In this way, during the holidays, you can buy more lobster to supplement brain cells.
In 1909, Charles Herold, who graduated from Stanford, established the first commercial wireless radio station in history in San Jose. Herold served as director and engineer, and his wife served as announcer. The station caused a huge sensation among the teenagers in San Francisco Bay Area , spawning a group of amateur radio stations and interest groups.
Teman is one of the fanatics. He and his two neighbors' children immediately tickled an amateur radio station. They are both academic masters and have strong execution ability. One of them was the son of Stanford professor of chemistry and the other was the son of later U.S. President Herbert Hoover.
Later, Terman was very proud of this story: "I was very happy to remember the past. At that time, our three families were neighbors. We happily fiddled with our new things, tried its functions, and then opened the window and asked loudly whether the partner opposite him heard the sound here." (For this point, we Chinese parents should also learn it, don't pursue scores too much, and the children's practical ability is also very important)
In 1917, Terman graduated from high school and naturally entered Stanford University, majoring in mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and electrical engineering were the best majors in early Stanford.
The second year at Stanford, Terman suddenly transferred to the chemistry department. The transfer of Terman has always been a mystery. After going to college, Terman often attended lectures held by Federal Telegraph at Stanford and benefited a lot from it. He was deeply impressed by the mutual benefit of the alliance between enterprises and universities. It also laid the foundation for the later promotion of the establishment and development of Silicon Valley.
The growth of a person determines his future development trajectory. Tyman is not only a top student, but also has a business philosophy.
In 1920, Terman graduated from undergraduate studies and went to work for the Federal Telegraph Company. He believed that his future career was to be an excellent engineer at Federal Telegraph, and for this reason, he returned to Stanford to study for graduate school. Terman completed twice the course in six semesters, impressing the department’s professors, including department chair Harris Ryan, and Eihuill’s mentor.
Teman obtained a master's degree, developed a peak voltmeter, and also had a girlfriend. After getting married and starting a career, Teman's life began to move towards a new turning point.

One week after graduating from Stanford, Terman applied to study for his Ph.D. at Boston Polytechnic University (the predecessor of MIT (MIThings Institute of Technology). This choice is very wise. At that time, MIT had the most authoritative professor of electronic engineering in the 20th century.
At MIT, he was lucky and met Dr. Wannival Bush, the inventor of simulated computers and a pioneer of information technology in the United States.
Bush was the scientific advisor to the president of WWII Roosevelt . After World War II, Bush facilitated the establishment of institutions such as National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Advanced Research Programme (ARPA).
Bush is also a super academic master. He spent a year at the age of 26 to obtain a joint doctorate from MIT and Harvard University .
1919, Bush returned to MIT to teach and was promoted to professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering four years later. During this period, Bush and his college roommates established the "American Equipment Company". In 1925, the company was renamed "Hyper" (Raytheon), which was later the most famous arms dealer in the United States - Raytheon Company .
The two have similar experiences, but their personalities are completely different. Bush was the dean of MIT, and Terman later served as the dean of Stanford. Terman likes behind the scenes, and does not like to show up, be ignorant, behave weirdly, be enthusiastic and help others, and ignore personal gains and losses; while Bush dresses well and is good at politics, he is a favorite character in the academic world and Washington.
Facts have proved that in the development of life, you must not only be smart, but also follow the right boss.
Under Bush's guidance, Terman's academic progress has been rapid. But he learned more from Bush than anything else outside of the classroom. Bush's belief that electronic technology will inevitably change the world, and the idea that "universities must not only engage in academics, but also become research and development centers" have also become Terman's belief. Thirty years later, this belief flourished in Stanford and Silicon Valley.
In 1924, Terman obtained a doctorate in electrical engineering and was immediately hired by Bush as an assistant teacher at MIT. But fate sometimes makes people joke. Terman suffered from tuberculosis when he went back to Stanford to visit relatives, and he had to stay in Stanford to recuperate.
No company was willing to hire him during his illness. But his teacher, Professor Ryan's sincerity to Terman, allowed him to taste the true feelings of the world. After recovering from his illness, Terman stayed at Stanford and served as professor of electronic and electrical engineering and director of the electronic communications laboratory. Of course, Mr. Bush and MIT did not forget him and reserved his position for him.
So, a good character is very important and can play a huge role at critical moments, so that your life will not be detours.
Teman is the most diligent among Stanford faculty and staff, working seven days a week. He once served as the chief supervisor for half of his department's graduate students. Teman is humble, doesn't talk much, and is dressed dull and a little dull. But as soon as he stepped onto the podium, he spoke with great words and was pleasant to the lecture.
Teman has always been keen on encouraging the best students to become entrepreneurs and make a name for themselves. Nine months before Hitler invaded Polish , Terman also convinced two of his favorite Stanford students, Hewlett and Packard, to start a company named after their own name in the town, the later famous HP company.
In November 1929, a blizzard broke out in the eastern United States, and many areas were blocked by heavy snow, railways and air transportation were interrupted, and several ships sank to the bottom of the sea. This natural disaster kicked off the Great Depression in the United States. The Great Depression caused 15 million people to lose their jobs across the United States. The Stanford teachers and students in crisis and depression attempt to change this irresistible fate.
Teman, who has gone through the Great Depression, knows that for engineering students, entrepreneurship is the best way out. Terman took them to the San Francisco Bay Area Electronics Company for an internship, visiting those who were initially engaged in the electronics industry. During these activities, students are exposed to the latest achievements of future bosses or employees and electronics.
Later, Silicon Valley elites often said that when Professor Terman took his motor students to intern in the San Francisco Bay Area, he sowed the seeds of entrepreneurship for Silicon Valley.
Teman was the most outstanding radio expert of that era. His achievements were not due to his academic achievements, but from his extraordinary teaching ability, leadership ability and social activity ability, especially his innovative contribution to the combination of university and industry.
In the era of radio prosperity, MIT no longer paid attention to this popular technology. From 1920 to 1925, radio retail sales increased from US$2 million to US$325 million. The broadcast period also increased significantly, and advertising revenue also increased significantly.
However, MIT professors no longer study radio: Winner 's interest returned to mathematics, Kennelly retired, and Bush became a politician.
However, Stanford seized the opportunity. When the word "electronics" was not available in the dictionary, Terman had already started writing the textbook "Radio Engineering", a radio engineering textbook.
This book has been reprinted many times and has far-reaching influence. It is a classic textbook for the American electronic engineering major. The royalties of the book are much higher than his income as a university professor, supporting his research on 36 patents from 1930 to 1947. In 1937, Terman became the head of the Department of Electrical Engineering. With his hard work, Stanford became the banner of the West in terms of motors, communications, etc.

In December 1941, the United States declared war on Japan and Germany.
Allied forces took off from Britain and started fighting. When they passed the English Channel , they were discovered and hit by the Germans because Germany had established a complete electronic air defense system in 1942.
In France, Germany has installed hundreds of early warning radars . Moreover, the German fighter was equipped with the radar in 1942. This is the earliest air traffic control system in mankind. The system is very efficient. A total of 40,000 aircraft from the Allied Forces were shot down or could not be repaired. The US military was killed 79,265 and the British military was 79,281, with an average age of 20 years.

This war made the big bosses of all countries realize that the winner and loser of the war not only rely on the wise decision-making of the commander, the bravery and will of the warrior, but also depends on the investment of high-tech products. Talents with high IQ have become the key to competing for the world.
The occurrence of World War II permanently changed the relationship between military institutions and schools.

After the battle, Terman returned to Stanford. He is determined to let the government change this prejudice and wants to build Stanfoy into the best microwave and electronic research center in the United States.
Fortunately, Wallace Sterling served as the president of Stanford University. He is an international relations scientist who has meticulous research on the Cold War and has fully recognized the growing importance of research-based universities. He promoted Terman from director of the School of Engineering to provost and agreed to Stanford University's reorganization around Terman's so-called "spire of excellence" to establish majors such as physics, materials science and electrical science.
With the support of the boss, Terman hired all 11 colleagues from Harvard Radio Research Laboratory to Stanford and established the Stanford Electronics Research Laboratory. At first, they could only do basic research.
1946, the U.S. Naval Research Office gave them their first contract. In 1950, Terman had turned Stanford's Institute of Technology into MIT on the West Coast.
1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb . This provided new opportunities for Stanford, and Terman was already ready. The military asked Teman to set up an applied electronics laboratory to engage in confidential military research. This doubled the Stanford Motor System.
Teman's efforts have been well received, and Stanford has become a partner in military industry and government research for the first time. Terman was determined to concentrate Stanford's resources and help the government understand what the Soviet Union was doing. Stanford's two original electronic laboratories: one is doing basic research and the other is doing confidential project research. In 1955, the two laboratories merged.
At this time, the technology, communication intelligence and electronic combat learned by Terman at Harvard became crucial. Stanford has become the scientific research center of the Ministry of National Security (NSA), the CIA , the Navy and the Air Force. The "Cold War" in the form of electronic warfare began like this.
Temann can not only enhance Stanford University's basic scientific research capabilities, but also make Stanford University more focused on engineering applications, concentrating famous professors and laboratory resources into the newly established Stanford University Electronics Laboratory. This research institution quickly became one of the most important reconnaissance and radar system research and development centers in the military.
In just a few years, Stanford University has become one of the largest funding targets for federal research funding and is second to none in academic reputation.
Teman opposes building the university into an ivory tower that is out of reality. Terman and his colleagues also make the most of another huge and unique asset at Stanford: the vast amount of land it owns.
The 36 square kilometers of land bequeathed to the school by the founder of Stanford University has been an expensive burden for many years, and only farmers and ranchers are willing to rent them. But in the rapid development after the war, military funds continued to flow in, new suburban residents were also pouring into the San Francisco Peninsula, and Stanford’s huge real estate turned from a burden on the balance sheet to a money tree.
Everyone was very excited at that time. After so many years, this land was finally valuable. If a commercial house was built for sale, it would be a fortune.
But Terman did not use this land to engage in real estate, and all this Terman did became a turning point in Silicon Valley. Instead, in 1952, they set out to build an advanced industrial research park on an open land with an area of about 1.5 square kilometers.
At the same time, Terman adopted a series of new rules:
first, combining Stanford's cutting-edge disciplines, making Stanford a research and development center for high-tech; at the same time, it unites universities and physical industries to contribute to economic growth, and also provides employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for Stanford graduates.
Second, we must concentrate the school’s financial and material resources, attract world-class scientists, establish cutting-edge research institutes in various disciplines, and cultivate first-class talents who lead the world trend in their majors.
Third, we must strengthen the basic education of the school and make its graduates a technical reserve for the future new industry.
Fourth, strengthen the connection between professors and enterprises. Stanford changed the past patent transfer system, allowing schools' patents to be transferred to companies very quickly, while schools can get a lot of compensation from it.
At that time, no school did this.Terman has a crucial idea: he doesn't want to be a military manufacturing machine. He only does scientific research and consulting, let others build companies, and let the military give them money to start a business. In this way, if you have money and work hard, you can transform brain resources into technological power, and Silicon Valley will soon prosper.
Under Terman's persuasion, local startups HP and Varian became its main tenants when the park opened. East Coast big companies like General Electric and Kodak have joined, which pay high rents to get close to the tech essence of Stanford and the "digital brain." Many local companies have signed partnership plans with Stanford University. Other electronic giants such as Lipton and Xiwannian have also set up microwave tube research labs nearby.
11951, under the promotion of Terman, Stanford set up part of the campus land near Palo Alto (about 580 acres) to establish the Stanford Industrial Park, and build research institutes, laboratories, office buildings, etc. The world's first university industrial park was born.
It’s really not urgent to make money. When you truly understand the principles contained in it, find the wisdom to make money and management skills, and use it reasonably on the target project, you will find that your life is quietly changing.
Hard work pays off. In 1955, seven companies built factories in Stanford Industrial Park, which increased to 32 in 1960 and reached 70 in 1970. In 1980, all 655 acres of land in the research area were rented out, with a total of 90 companies and 250,000 employees. By the late 1990s, there were more than 7,000 such companies. These companies are high-tech companies in the electronics industry, which is the area where Terman has the most personal relationships and is also the area he considers the most promising. Teman threads needles for scientific research and production.
In the 1970s, Silicon Valley became the world's high-tech R&D center for the combination of talent + technology + venture capital. This also makes the Stanford Research Zone a high-tech industrial zone that the United States and the world compete to emulate.
Stanford Industrial Park laid the foundation for Silicon Valley's electronics industry. The revenue it brings provides Stanford with huge financial resources. The advance rent exceeded 18 million, equivalent to the amount Mr. Stanford donated to the university that year. Teman used it to invest heavily in hiring famous masters to enrich the teaching staff and implement the top talent strategy.
The rapid rise of Silicon Valley has brought direct returns to Stanford with money, and it also brings a steady stream of intellectual resources and vibrant development vitality to Stanford. With the advantages of Silicon Valley's technological development, Stanford also has a considerable patent transfer fee. From 1954 to 1967, Stanford's patent transfer fee was around US$45,000. However, from the founding of Stanford's Technology Licensing Office in 1970 to 1998, Stanford's patent transfer revenue reached US$300 million. The company delivered by Stanford earns $100 billion a year.
1991, the fundraising amount during the 100th anniversary of Stanford's school reached astronomical figure of US$12.6 billion, which is a new record in the history of higher education, and even Harvard is beyond the reach. From academic research, this former "country university" surpassed Harvard, , Yale and Princeton, ranking first among universities in the United States.
