From a 2012 episode of The Office: Ryan: “I’ve actually done a lot of market research and it actually turns out that southwestern Ohio is going to be the next Silicon Valley. They call it the Silicon Prairie.” For those not familiar with the episode: the character is totally full of crap; trying to explain that his reason for moving to Ohio has nothing to do with his ex-girlfriend moving to Ohio. Funny to see "Ohio is going to be the next Silicon Valley" come around again (but this time in actual news).

There's no shortage of "X is going to be the next Silicon Valley". There's seems to be about one a month.

Oh, for sure. The funny thing here is that the line in 2012 was crafted to be patently absurd.
