And Silicon Valley, what led to the creation of Silicon Valley? A UMn grad and a UMn prof along with a 3rd person developed the Silicon based Transistor, and won a Nobel Prize for it.

False

This is the only thing you've said that I've fact-checked, and it's wrong. Not only is it wrong, but you're really gonna hate the right answer:

"The first working device to be built was a point contact Trasistor invented in 1947 by America Physicists John Bardeen(UMn Prof) and Walter Brattain(UMn) grad while working under William Shockley at Bell Labs. They shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in physics for their achievement. "

"Transistors revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper, radios, calculators and computers, among other things."

That's not the silicon transistor, though.

Also, John Bardeen has nothing to do with Minnesota. He went to Wisconsin, and taught at Illinois, but never did anything at Minnesota.

John Bardeen was at Minnesota from 1938-1941.

Weird, they don't even note it on his Wiki. Must've not been a very important time for him.
