IMPACTS

🔴Depending on which side of the tech industry they exist the corona virus spurt is either a boon or bane of a company’s business. As companies urged their employee to work from home. Those employees turn to as like zoom, Google meet etc. For videoconferencing and slack for communication. As you can imagine zoom and slack are doing relatively well presently.

🔴Likewise as people opt to or are forced to stay home 🏠 They may turn to delivery services like door -post mates and instacart. To get food and supplies without having the risk exposing themselves. 

🔴These tech companies also continue to thrive naturally as those bound to their homes to seek entertainment to pass the long hours streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, prime video and YouTube will likely see an increase (in fact proportional to avoid cases number of YouTube channels also increasing).

🔴Travelling is declining booking sites like Expedia, kayak and Travelocity are seeing a sharp decline in new business and a notable uptick on cancellations.

🔴Coronavirus also have an effect on the tech hardware business and it all comes down to a term. We rely on everyday without necessarily understanding it or being actively aware of it’s supply chain. The brand name on the front of a phone, laptop or TV only tells who designed It assembling all the parts is a complicated web of contractors, subcontractors and warehouses which go completely unseen. For example there is indeed a factory that makes TVs but that factory doesn’t necessarily make the T.V screen the screen is made by another factory , the processing chip is made at a different factory. You got the idea right? All are interconnected .If one factory shuts down the entire system will fall apart 

🔴Apple has already indicated it will likely not be able to make a sufficient supply of it’s smart phones for the year .We didn’t expect that it to be true of other smartphone makers as well .Likely see a shorter supply of goods like TVs , washers , driers etc. The shortfall won’t be felt immediately but the spike in prices will feel shortly.
