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].
