I have seen this talk and I assure you - even seasoned Silicon Valley veterans will find this story interesting.Silicon Valley entrepreneur Steve Blank will talk about how World War II set the stage for the creation and explosive growth of Silicon Valley, and the role of Frederick Terman and Stanford in working with government agencies (including the CIA and the National Security Agency) to set up companies in this area that sparked the creation of hundreds of other enterprises.
Speaker: Steve Blank Steve Blank spent nearly 30 years as founder and executive of high tech companies in Silicon Valley, most recently the enterprise software firm E.piphany. He has been involved in or co-founded eight Silicon Valley startups, ranging from semiconductors to video games, and personal computers to supercomputers. He teaches entrepreneurship at U.C.

That is what humans use it for. But the end result will just prove that it really doesnt matter. At the end, we will learn from the experience. AS far as how we use it till then is up to us.
