An area with a large techie professional and company presence, such as found in Silicone Valley, Boston, NoVA, RTP.
Why are you asking a question you already know the answer to? You just mentioned pretty much all the areas in the country for which that is the case; your only omissions were probably Austin and Seattle. There are tech jobs and companies in SC but nothing on the level of those areas.
It's more about regions than states...there is little difference across the Piedmont through VA/NC/SC. Same goes for the mountains/foothills/coastal plain/beaches. It's hard to tell any difference just by stepping over the state line between any of the three.
True, and Georgia could also fit the bill. However, most people are under the assumption that NC and VA are more so Upper South while SC and GA are Deep South.

Actually, I didn't know the answer. I don't know much about SC ot the national tech industry. Hence, the question. Don't presume to know me. If you have a problem answering the question, ignore it, I wasn't talking to you.

You named almost all of the country's major tech hubs in your response so you obviously know enough about the major hubs of the industry. If there were something akin to RTP just to the south, I'm pretty sure you'd know about that too.
Which neighbor do you prefer (include Tennessee and Georgia if you like)? This can be anything, from which state you believe is more similar to NC, which state you enjoy traveling in, etc.
Love visiting South Carolina. We get to the low country as often as we can. I also like Greenville and Columbia - every great city should have a river running through it! I love the geographic diversity of our country and I list the low country, along with the pacific northwest, great lakes region, high desert southwest, California coast, California sierras, blue ridge and rocky mountains as one of the most beautiful and distinct areas of the country.
I grew up in Hamlet, NC, which is right on the NC/SC state line. I spent about as much time in SC as NC as a child. All of my grandparents are from SC, too. I've always retained a strong affection for SC, and I like to visit when I can.
I've never been to VA or GA. I went through TN a few times on trips to AR as a young child. I remember virtually nothing about it.
