Contrary to most comments here I think it's a pretty interesting article, much better than the usual VC/blogger whining pieces we've been lately. There are some real parallels there. I think where these analogies break down is the fact that computing has much wider applications even than something as fundamental as transportation. Well, necessarily so because computing can be applied to transportation and everything else. What "Silicon Valley" does is applicable everywhere for the foreseeable future. I mean software is certainly not a solved problem and it really won't be until the singularity is achieved.
