Well, 30 years ago there was no global internet full of knowledge and allowing collaboration-- I had to go to the college library.
There was also no global internet allowing for an instant global market to be serviced from the middle of nowhere. If you started a business in podunk, your market was the podunk area. (For the most part, there was mail order and stuff, but that still had a higher barrier to entry than the internet does now.)
So I think things have gotten easier and a lot more people are doing it.
I'm interested in hearing why you think the opposite-- I bet you're observing a different trend than I am focusing on. (eg both trends can be true)
