The Sonoran Desert where I live may seem like a hostile environment, with as little as 3-15 inches (7-38 cm) of annual rain and scorching sun that can reach 118 F (47 C). Yet plants, animals, and Native peoples thrive in this environment with resourcefulness and adaptability. The future of supply chain I foresee brings new risks and challenges, along with recognition that doing things the same way will no longer lead to the same success.

Who doesn’t remember their first phone? For my parents, it was a rotary phone at a stand-alone point in the hallway. For my wife, it was a see-through 80’s phone that gave her the freedom to talk to her friends every night. For me, it was a clunky cellphone that would cause me to butt-dial the most random people. But for a lot of kids, it may have been Fisher-Price’s Chatter Telephone, which debuted sixty years ago.
