Stop and gawk at the new technologies: DestiNY USA is building an 800-acre tourist theme park in upstate New York to highlight emerging new technologies. According to the online version of the Daily Telegraph, the park will be so massive that could "rival Silicon Valley." Is that all Silicon Valley is -- a giant theme park full of carnival amusements like Google and Yahoo? A British investment banker comments on the deal:

"It's really a very Victorian idea, like a bigger version of Kew Gardens. The concept is based around science and technology research but with opportunities to gawk, as well as shops and restaurants."
