Abstract
How does the global supply chain matter to the history of computing? It seems clear that it does matter—after all, the iPhone achieved its market dominance in part because of Apple's world-leading supply chain. More recently, a global semiconductor shortage has stymied production of everything from Volkswagens to Xboxes. And of course, the systems organizing the sourcing, production, and distribution for nearly all of our products are designed and delivered by computer [29].
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Annals of the History of Computing serves as a record of vital contributions which recount, preserve, and analyze the history of computing and the impact of computing on society. Where possible, first hand accounts of events and activities are recorded with minimal editorial change, and scholarly reports of analyses of the historical record from archives and personal contact are published so as to better understand both the past and the future of our field.
