My recollections are that the legend was “Stanford: A View of the World”, and that Silicon Valley was one of the small foreground features at the right edge. That would be a much larger feature if drawn today, and Sand Hill Road would now appear on the left margin.<br>
<br>
(A quick search for an image doesn’t turn it up—probably because of copyright issues. I did find links to an artist selling something with a similar idea, but definitely not the poster I recall.)<br>

> As Nathan Ensmenger's keynote at the SIGCIS workshop last weekend pointed out, that's an industry aggressively rewriting its past and seeking to pivot the rest of the world's concerns -- economic, policy, social -- around its mobile, app-based worldview. The tech view from Palo Alto circa the 2010s is not that dissimilar to the media industry's view from New York in the 1970s.<br>
