Has the cloud made physical location irrelevant?

With data centers worldwide and communications of all types available at ever lower costs has physical locations in everything from companies to education/training being rendered obsolete? Everything from education, design and manufacturing is becoming more worldwide and distributed across physical, political and business boundaries. If only our political and social structures could keep up with the technologies we are creating with AI/ML and automation they will cross both business and political boundaries in ways most haven't even imagined. With the AI/ML/automation technologies we are creating at an ever-accelerating rate, we will be seeing changes in everything most can't even imagine. There will be no lack of opportunity for those with the vision to see outside the box. The "Great Acceleration" is now here and those that master it will prosper, but they must master how to be inclusive as possible to stop upheavals and conflict, which will be skill sets in and of themselves.
 
Will this reality drive the "middle up" or force them down to the bottom?

Costs in the shape of salaries getting driven down benefit who?

It will force politicians who benefit special interests at the great cost to everyone(California, New York among others) to reform or lose the best and the brightest. It is now more possible more than ever before to escape high cost, high graft/corruption areas and move to lower graft and more efficient ecosystems. Having worked in physical plant data distribution I have been exposed to a large number of industries in several states and across California. I have seen massive corruption firsthand and its tremendous cost. This is why Nevada, Texas and Arizona are growing at a good clip.
