Metcalfe invents the ethernet standard and establishes 3com in 1979.Metcalfe devised a Metcalfe's law afterwards.
Probably he still lives in the place called State of Maine of the East Coast and is now.He has already lived apart from Silicon Valley.Want to let send fresh life to a child in the country than he wants to live a rich life; thought.The basics are the countries, but living people are that there is only a millionaire, and, in the Silicon Valley, it is it to the child who is an upstart to be accompanied by a car of the pickup necessarily.He thinks so and leaves the Silicon Valley and lives in the country of the East Coast.
He devised a Metcalfe's law in 1995.He has already done a nothing prediction to agree with it.It is "The Internet grows big explosively, and it will fail in 1996"Promised with it like this; when "eat the article, and show it if do not win one's prediction."However, it comes off as all understand it now.
And he shattered an article with a mixer to take the responsibility and dissolved it in water and drank it.His charm was a dry remark and column, but it seems to have been spoken quite generally afterwards.
A place carrying out that I said is terrible.
When fell behind Sony in a next-generation DVD recorder before construction, said that the president kneeled on the ground; there was it.How did that turn out.
the content is same "PARCが凄いことに". It is English ver.
Palo Alto Research Center which was established as a fundamental research laboratory of xerox in 1970 at Silicon Valley. nick name is PARC.It becomes difficult for there to be it as a company when paper disappears because the Xerox is a company of the paper.And it is troubled when paper will disappear in the future."What would you do so that paper does not disappear?"It was established solve this.
Therefore the study in every field is considered to be it.It developed computer "Alto" of the world's first GUI deployment in 1973 and announced the ethernet at the same time.
The research institute became independent in 2002 and became the company affiliated with a thing of a Xerox.
Therefore a study spread still more.For example, biotechnology, nanotechnology, an intelligence system, ethnology, anthropology, psychology so on...
It study the field that I cannot think to be the company of the paper anymore.In the technology of the paper, the thing which It wrote develops paper to disappear entirely one day later.
This will be the thing that is impossible without receiving it by a general big company.
It is said by a stockholder even if able to do it that "this is connected with duties", and it is stopped.
However, there is already the company where there is a thing similar to PARC It is BOSE of the American sound maker.BOSE is an acoustic specialty maker, but the study spreads through many fields other than the sound.For example, the fields such as the regulator of the airplane and the medical relations or cold nuclear fusion do it, too.
In addition, with the imminent thing, It does the suspension of the car. This considerably always pushes forward a study and thinks that I think that it appear in the market soon.
In the last of the movie, a car flies.
Not the study that pursued only such profit, will not the study that thought about 20 years later or more future be necessary ten years later.
I think that it is more important It make use of a certain technology now, and to finish a new thing, but surely think that it should not be only it. I think about only at hand profit and do not act, and will not the action that thought about the world of the future be important.
xeroxの基礎研究所として1970年に設立されたPalo Alto Research Center通称PARCがシリコンバレーにあるのです。
なぜ作られたかと言うと、ゼロックスは紙の会社なので紙が無くなると会社として存在することが難しくなってきます。そして、将来紙が無くなるといった場合困ってしまいますので、「紙が無くならないようにするためにはどうするべきか」ということをメインに作られた研究所なのです。
