The centralization of the tech industry in Silicon Valley never made any sense to begin with. To say that all the top talent was/is in Silicon Valley is a gross overstatement. There has always been much more talent outside of SV than inside SV; simply because the world is a very big place. People who live in Silicon Valley don't have access to much more knowledge than people who live in remote places around the world; thanks to the internet, knowledge is decentralized. There are only two things that people in Silicon Valley had better access to than everyone else; 1. Venture capital and 2. Tech media coverage - These two things helped SV to better capitalize on their innovations but now is the point where reality starts to catch up with the hype.
