Historians have noted that economic clusters always required access to abundant strategic inputs for success, says Levin. In the 1800s, it was access to abundant flowing water and raw materials. In the 1900s, it was access to abundant electricity and transportation. In the 2000s, he said, “it will be access to abundant bandwidth and abundant human intellectual capital,” — places like Silicon Valley, Austin, Boulder, Cambridge and Ann Arbor. It's not about bandwidth, it's just about "human intellectual capital". And those places are good, but the best "human intellectual capital" I have met has been also in out-of-the-way places in Russia, Holland, Poland, Czech Republic among others. Physical location is deprecated. These clusters will be based virtually -- video conferencing and using it differently.
