Cambridge is basically a micro-silicon valley. Although I think Boston will continue to remain a strong contender for the #2 spot in tech, I don't think it will eclipse the Valley. Boston does however already eclipse the Valley in terms of academics. Simply put, schools are what Boston does best. Startup activity is and will always continue to be a side effect of the strong academic presence here. In the Bay area, it seems to be the other way around.
