you see that so much more in the question of why did silicon valley happen here? what is interesting is how one earth has the valley gone from instrumentation to microchip, the stuff that i'm talking about in this book to the networking companies to cloud and social and mobile and now we have all of this ai stuff happening and again and again that reinvention question. so do i think that the valley is going to continue? he yes. do i know how? no. >> you are a historian and thank you for your views on really how history matters. this question comes from facebook livestream. what are you thoughts on places that are trying to copy silicon valley and is it possible to have a second silicon valley or other places that have their own model? >> absolutely. i think the notion that it's a zero-sum game for regional tech economies is flat out wrong. we were just talking about seattle for heaven's sakes. seattle is incredible and all over the country and all over the world you have these enclaves of innovation without which silicon valley would not exist. i was just asked thi

what i would say about silicon valley is some of the criticism is fair. these people have to grow up and be more responsible. i have a chapter where i talk about moral responsibility. you break it, you fix it. whether it is the impact on work and his role in the workplace and creating a new kind digital tailor the have the responsibility to at least fix some of this stuff and it also models. he understood that it broke local journalism are having made a lot of money and spend most of their life actually trying to figure out how to reinvent local newspapers. i think that he is a model so silicon valley critique is legitimate and important enough to force these people to grow up. as you say it is very historical you look back at the industrial revolution. i'm not celebrating robbery but i am suggesting that these people have a moral responsibilities, whether it is craig newmark, they are being forced to grow up and they are growing up so it is legitimate but it's not healthy to just trash them. >> you don't agree with any of that? >> i do agree that there i

it's about women in silicon valley and technology. i thought we could start with questions that are super important that most startup founders most people who will be raising money get asked we talked about building startups and inventing the future task about what important truth do you believe underage beer a few people agree with you i'm not done, given some of the research and statistics you found in your book around this radical idea that women should have equal opportunity and could contribute to silicon valley success in the industry, where did you get such a radical idea? >> it was radical at the time. this is before trump and before me too. people would whisper about it we talk about it off-camera and then nobody would say what they really wanted to say. a woman who is raising money doesn't want to risk not raising money because she's calling out investors who are 93% male. yet everybody had ideas about why women have been left out. women account for 25% of computing jobs, women led companies get 2% of funding. 2% people have

i mean silicon valley is control aring what we see and what we read. how we duet around, how we communicate how we shop. and for an industry that is transforming our lives every day people making products shouldn't be 95% male so we're talking about a problem that snot just silicon valley problem or tech problem -- [applause] this is the world's problem. this is a cultural crisis. i also have is three sons. you know people always say i have daughters i care well i have son and i really care about this. because i fully believe that their lives will be better in a more e equal world but yes for all of the patient out will who have sons and daughters and want daughters to succeed in this industry they're not gepg to stand a chance if industry doesn't change. [inaudible conversations] >> this is an extremely well researched book and one of the things that you did was to go into the statistics, research you mention one stat of -- two, one men 92% of intercapitalist women getting 2% of venture capital dollars at least on 2016 numbers i'm not sure that it rea

did it have to be this way in silicon valley? >> you know, it didn't have to be this way, and that is why i wrote this book. when i went back to the 1940s and 1950s, what i found is that women played vital roles in the burgeoning computer industry, programming computers for the military and programming computers for nasa. think hidden figures, but industrywide. then as the industry was exploding in the 60s and 70s, they were so desperate to find good programmers that they developed personality tests to identify people they thought would be good at this job. two psychologists decided that people who quote/unquote don't like people make for better computer programmers. well, if you look for people who don't like people, the research tells us you'll hire far more men than women. no research to support this idea that people who don't like people or men are particularly better at this job than anyone else. unfortunately that perpetuated and solidified this stereo type of the antsoal white me rd that many of us think ofo this day when

do you think silicon valley is a meritocracy?: i think across the board in the america, we love the idea of meritocracy, this idea that one person can work their way up and be successful. mark zuckerberg said it in a speech at harvard the fact that he was able to learn how to code in high school was because his parents had jobs was an incredible "lucky break" that made it possible to be at harvard and to create facebook collectively. i think it is a complex interplay between the role of luck and the role of work, and we need to be more honest that all these successes are a combination of both. emily: that was facebook cofounder chris hughes. coming up, one of the fastest growing cloud and data software firms just added a tech veteran to its board. we will speak with rubrik ceo and microsoft chair john thompson next. and a reminder -- all episodes of "bloomberg technology" are live streaming on twitter. check us out weekdays. this is bloomberg. ♪ we use our phones and computers the same way these days. so why do we pay to have a p

do you think silicon valley is too arrogant these days?: i do think there is a sense, particularly among people who have made a lot of money and a lot of the time, and i'm not speaking about just silicon valley, but in general, that it is all because of one's own actions, and i think we tend to underestimate the power of these macroeconomic forces behind it. things like automation, globalization. i will give you an example. in facebook's case, over the course of the 10 years before it it made over $500 million in venture capital. that kind of financing was not years ago, and40 it is specifically because of financial changes we made in the 1980's to create an industry that is large enough to support that at the same time that everybody else's wages are flat. uber has raised billions of dollars. chris: exactly. facebook is not the only company. it is important to recognize many things i happening in our culture, our government, our society that are creating this wealth in addition to any one individual contribution to it. emily: silicon vall

emily: do you think the idea of meritocracy is problematic in silicon valley? of the things people who worked at paypal told me was this belief it was a meritocracy, when in fact you were hiring a lot of people you knew. >> meritocracy in a vacuum is not a bad idea. i think being able to say honestly that the people who are here have earned their spot is very powerful, saying you are the best of the best. the downside of meritocracy is if that is the only criteria on you choose, you select the people you know, because you don't know how to reach out into other groups, communities, other flavors of engineers. you're going to select from a fairly shallow pool. we ran out of candidates because i ran out of male friends, and there was really not anyone else to recruit. emily: one of the most interesting parts of your story to me is where you talked about what happened at slide, where you said there were some br os, and there was a bro-y culture that developed, and you took action. what happened? >> what triggered my attention to all these things was really slide, w
