[dead]

Everyone knows that silicon valley died after the space race ended. If it didn't die then it was surely dead after main frames were replaced by mini's and the mini's were killed by personal computers. It was most surely deceased when AOL passed.

Now if the slow painful death of Bitcoin and Twitter can't hammer the fact into your brain then something must be wrong.
