The chip shortage and why you should care.
Semiconductors are very tiny, seemingly insignificant to our daily lives. Yet, that couldn't be further from the truth. We rely on those small chips to run our cellphones, cars, computers, tv, etc. "These advanced semiconductor chips are everything from your phone to the most advanced weapons systems in the United States government," Texas Senator McCaul said. The United States does not produce any of the most advanced semiconductor chips. Texas A&M supply chain consortium director, Xenophon Koufteros, said those are the tiniest chips — about 10 millimeters. So besides chips being used in our everyday lives, why should we be concerned with the ongoing shortage?
Well, this is why; what if China moves into Taiwan? If that happens, it will be a total disaster for us here, not just in the United States but also in the whole world. We won't be able to make any phones; we won't be able to make cameras; we won't be able to make medical devices. We'd have to shut down just about every industry.
Though supply is short, there is still an available supply around; take a look at our website and feel free to inquire further.(akiragi.com). Sources and summarized from an article by cw39
