I console myself with knowledge of the economics maxim that every supply shortage is usually, eventually, followed by a supply glut.
One can only hope that that's the principle at work here, anyway. It could also be a critically damped system for all I know. Unfortunately I studied control systems too...
I was thinking than until my NAS gave me a error on one of my harddrives, now I'm in the market for a replacement while I still have redundancy
People with a control theory background are welcome in economics; the field is more diverse than some would recognize. Certain professions and subfields are more open than others. There are plenty of economists who care about things like resilience and dampening shocks.
I would love if more non-traditional economists got involved in the public sphere by which I mean: writing about economic trends, public policy, regulation, rate-adjustment, etc.
If storage and memory manufacturer don't respond with increasing supply. There might not be glut. Just postponed demand that will slowly get fulfilled over longer period. That is if we were in steady state.
On other hand if there is bigger economic turmoil that might mean that the postponed demand does not realise as there is no purchasing power...
