The Other Silicon Valley That The Tech Industry Is Leaving Behind [Video]

On Friday, veteran journalist Bill Moyers did a segment on Silicon Valley that gives a very different perspective than we get from most mainstream media coverage of the world-renowned tech industry hub, and it's been fueling some good conversations this weekend. Called "Homeless in High Tech's Shadow," it's a very interesting look at the growing homeless problem in the South Bay of San Francisco that's happening in stark contrast to the growing wealth in the same area. Instead of another breathless look at the Google cafeteria that offers free gourmet food for all employees, we meet a former worker in that same cafeteria who was laid off as the company tightened its hiring policies and is now living in a tent. Instead of gleaming footage of the high-tech machinery that produces silicon wafers, we meet a former National Semiconductor employee who is now homeless at the age of 54 with "nothing" to her name.
