Initially just fields of wildflowers, Silicon Valley is now home to some of the world's largest technology companies and prestigious universities. The first Silicon Valley company was founded in a garage, and the first computers were built in the area. The first startup was funded by a group of investors who later became known as the "PayPal Mafia."
The article covers the early days of Silicon Valley, when the region was known for its fruit and vegetable farms. The first Silicon Valley company to go public was Fairchild Semiconductor, in 1957 . The first personal computer, the Altair 8800, was designed in 1974 by a company called MITS. The first email message was sent in 1971 by a man named Ray Tomlinson. The @ symbol was chosen to be used in email addresses because it was used in commands on early computers. The first Internet message was sent in 1969 by a man named Leonard Kleinrock.
The global landscape of computer vision research is dominated by a few countries, with the majority of published papers coming from the United States, Canada, China, Japan, and Europe. The majority of computer vision researchers are affiliated with universities, and the most popular journals and conferences in the field are the Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, the Transactions on Image Processing, the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, and the European Conference on Computer Vision. The most popular book in the field is "Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications" by S. Seitz and R. J. Poggio.
The first heavier-than-air powered flight took place in 1903 by the Wright brothers. The first night flight was completed in 1908 by Jefferson De Montrance Davis. The first successful powered flight with a person on board took place in 2016 when Alberto Santos-Dumont made a flight of about 211 feet (64 meters) in his 14-bis aircraft. The first powered flight by a woman took place on November 18, 1910, when Raymonde de Laroche flew in her Voisin biplane.

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which particles can share the same quantum state, regardless of distance. This allows them to interact with each other instantaneously, and can be used to send information faster than the speed of light. Quantum entanglement can be used to create secure communication channels and powerful quantum computers.

The Wright brothers are best known for their invention of the airplane. On December 17, 1903, they made the first powered flight in their Flyer. They continued to refine their invention, and the Wright brothers' Flyer III was the first practical airplane. The Wright brothers were the first airplane pilots.
