There's a ton of cool stuff happening in Silicon Valley, but it's goofy to claim that the unique historical context of the valley is exportable. There isn't one technology industry any more than there is one manufacturing industry, and a blinkered conflating of "small debt-financed web startups" with "software" doesn't lend any clarity to the conversation. NB: I'm moving to Canada from Silicon Valley.
