Well, I would say all those things have required technology of some sort or another since they all started. So saying they require technology is nothing new. Now saying they all require software technology of a specific sort from silicon valley is completely different. For example, if a bubble did exist and it burst so that all those software technologies from silicon valley disappeared, would those sectors of the economy suddenly disappear as well? I think not. You are elevating software technology to all technology.
