The current shortage of computer chips began in the auto sector as a result of the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
In this episode, IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor chats to tech specialist, Dr Richard Windsor, from Radio Free Mobile who says the initial pressures that built up then moved into consumer electronics.
