This is bordering on a no-true scotsman. See, the true tech industry doesn't have problems, that whole dot-com bust was because of the financial industry. Nevermind that the two are intertwined and that claiming one is provincial alone is misleading.

It's a valid distinction. The decades-long many orders-orders-of-magnitude drop in the price of computing hasn't been responsible for investment money periodically drying up, but it has put a 90's era supercomputer into everyone's pocket.
