The shortage has already been rippling through various markets since last summer. It has made it difficult for schools to buy enough laptops for students forced to learn from home, delayed the release of popular products such as the iPhone 12 and created mad scrambles to find the latest video game consoles such as the PlayStation 5.
But things have been getting even worse in recent weeks, particularly in the auto industry, where factories are shutting down because there aren’t enough chips to finish building vehicles that are starting to look like computers on wheels. The problem was recently compounded by a grounded container ship that blocked the Suez Canal for nearly a week, choking off chips headed from Asia to Europe.
Oh, so that's what was in that behemoth of a ship...chips.
What if there was a shortage of implantable RFID chips? Those needed to put on people so that they can function/make purchases in a technocratic world?
Dont worry TOTW. There won't be a shortage.
Speaking of chips though...
The rapidly growing field of neural interface technologies has attracted the likes of Elon Musk and Facebook.
Mr Musk has recently revealed that his Neuralink startup has already tested a wireless chip on a monkey’s brain that allows it to play video games.
