Will the semiconductor supply shortage disrupt your business?

Did you see that the new Apple car came out? Well, almost. The
Wall Street Journal did a tongue in cheek arts and crafts project
for a video it released on April 5. The video features an iPhone
that’s been modified to look like a car. It looks pretty fun. But
the really interesting part is the demonstration of how many
components an iPhone and a car have in common.


The Wall Street Journal made this video to show us why it makes
sense that Apple would even try to make a car. In doing so, they
make another compelling point. Computer chips, or semiconductors,
are ubiquitous. They are in so many different products that we
use every day. Phones. Cars. Toys. Even light bulbs. And guess
what? The world is facing a chip shortage. It’s causing major
supply line issues and production slowdowns in various
industries. Some are calling it ‘chipaggedon’. I think that’s
pretty dramatic, so maybe I’ll call it the silicon
slowdown.
