I feel like everyone I know that works in tech lives in the bay or Seattle. NYC as the center of finance makes sense to me, DC as the center of gov’t obviously, Boston/New England as a center of learning also makes sense, but why have these places ended up as the center of tech?
Maybe it’s related to ARPANET, the predecessor of the Internet. Three of the four access points are universities in California in the cities of LA, Santa Barbara, and Stanford.
