Abstract :
Silicon Valley, California is the epicentre of the information technology age. The ´Valley´ has become an icon for the hectic, interconnected world we live in. Seismic shifts are something this particular community knows all about. The San Andreas fault is built into the fabric of Californian life. ´When will the big one be?´ is a question lurking in the back of everyone´s mind in the ´Valley´. Perhaps that question should be in the back of the World´s collective mind as well. Is this the big one for society as we know it?.
