Reviewed by Andrew J. Dutcher, M. S., M. L. S.Silicon Valley Dreams presents five computer gurus talking about their products or services and their personal and business philosophies. While it is indeed interesting to hear different business executives within an industry discussing topics and issues of importance, this video just follows them around the office, at meetings, while driving in their cars, and with family members listening to whatever they have to say. There is an opening narration and the executives each have about ten minutes in sequence. There is nothing to contrast the different ideas presented nor are the central themes highlighted. No closing narration was provided. Technically, the video and the audio were clear and the editing was appropriate. Some of the information presented is dated and one of the executive’s names is misspelled on the video jacket. This video could be used with an introductory computer science or business program. Individuals with dreams of entrepreneurship might also find this video to be inspiring.
