In the 1930's, when two engineering gradutate students of Stanford University set out their "job" in a garage in Palo Alto, known as the birthplace of Silicon Valley, the valley was a farm area with the trees of prunes and apricots. It was locally known as "the Valley of the the Hearts' Delight." The valley has transformed into the Valley now globally known as Silicon Valley.

Because of the size and cost of the early computers, early hackers were restricted to using a small number of machines built by large companies and installed at universities or industrial research centers.
