About Lawson

On December 1st, 1940, Lawson was born in Brooklyn, New York. From a young age, he experimented with electronics, fixing televisions in his neighbourhood and building his own radio station out of recycled items. Prior to leaving early to begin his career in Palo Alto, California, he attended Queens College and City College of New York. At the time, the city and its surrounding region had become known as ‘Silicon Valley’ due to the explosion of new, innovative tech companies starting up in the area,” the Google Doodle post explains.
