The topic you need to research and write about is the "ongoing global semiconductor chip supply shortage". Look upon the internet on the topic. This is a very active discussion on TV and the internet lately. You could see this as an effect of globalization and higher demand for electronic components due to advances in IoT to just a supply chain disruption caused by COVID-19. But, there are multiple reasons and root causes that have caused this global crisis. What are your thoughts? What do you see as the future effects? I would like you to look at it more from a globalization standpoint.

Please start researching this issue to understand why the global transportation supply chain and logistics breakdown has currently led to this massive shortage in supplies of semiconductors, plastic polymers, electronic products, and even cars and bicycles. Do you think this was triggered by the pandemic? Can you find out if the electronic component shortage started even before the emergence of COVID-19? Look at the problem from globalization and global interdependence perspective. Do you see a systemic problem? What are your thoughts on how and when the issues will settle back down?
