Identity

In Silicon Valley everything is always changing. The jobs, the buildings, and the opportunities are here one day and gone the next. The common question that young people are forced to ask living in a temporary worldis "Who am I?" We ask this of ourselves while assembling computer chips, answering phones, or waiting for the temp agency to call for the next assignment. It is a question of identity.
