The HP Garage - The Birthplace of Silicon Valley In 1938 David and Lucile Packard got married and rented the first floor of the house at 367 Addison Avenue in Palo Alto. The simple one car garage became the HP workshop and the little shack out back became Bill Hewletts home. The Shack Where Bill Hewlett Lived: When you enter Bill Hewletts shack, the first thing you see is his desk. These two photos show his living space. Two items are not period-correct: there was a toilet which HP chose not to restore and the floor was not wood but... dirt! It was the depths of the great depression and Bill Hewlett loved the outdoors so perhaps living in what wasnt much more than a tent wasnt too hard for him. Other people rented that tiny space in the decades that followed. Un ringraziamento a Bruno Borgogno per aver condiviso con noi queste foto che fanno parte dei suoi archivi di ricerca sulla storia di HP. #HP50anni #HP75 #NewStyleofIT #HPItaly50 #electronics #technology #tech #electronic #device #gadget #gadgets #geek #techie #nerd #techy #photooftheday #computers #laptops #hack #screen #printers #printing #HewlettPackard #worklife #HP #tablet #siliconvalley #TagsforLikes #phablet
