‘Fabric that no electric machine can produce’—the designer who’s using traditional hand looms
As mass production transforms the fashion industry, one young Kenyan designer is turning back to a traditional craft. In Nairobi, Hillary Mukabwa, founder and lead designer of Mukabwa Studio, is using hand looms not only to make clothes and fabrics, but to preserve a piece of Kenya’s cultural heritage. For Mukabwa, choosing a traditional production method is a deliberate attempt to reconnect with a craft increasingly being pushed aside by modernization. “Modernization kills the aspect of traditional craftsmen and ways of doing work,” Mukabwa says. “I just wanted to be that person who kind of tries to revive the old practices, because this is where culture lives. This is where authenticity lives. And from that, we get to know our roots, know what we used to do, and getting to have unique items that are identified to us." The process begins with preparing and measuring the yarn before threading it through the loom. Weavers then work the threads by hand, using a process that can take several days depending on the size and complexity of the fabric. For Mukabwa, the slower pace is part of the craft's value. Unlike electric machines designed for mass production, hand looms produce each piece with a distinct character. “These hand looms, first of all, they are traditional. So, you find that they carry a story,” Mukabwa says. “It's a piece of art. Rather than producing masses, they produce with meaning," he adds. "It is a slow process. So, it is passion-led. You have to have passion for you to work in that area. And also, this machine produces fabric that no electric machine can produce. That is why we are sticking to it." The studio's looms are operated by hand and foot, and Mukabwa has also adapted some of the equipment to make weaving more efficient. Kenyan artisans with experience in weaving and machine-making produce the machines—a skill Mukabwa says is becoming increasingly rare. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

An ‘influencer’ degree? Colleges bet on content creator major as critics question its value
Ask a teen what they want to be when they grow up, and there's a fair chance being an influencer is on their list. Digital media and the people who star in it have been cultural mainstays for teens' entire lives, so creating social media, video, or podcast content seems a natural, albeit nontraditional, career path. And now they can earn a college degree in that very field. Arizona State University (ASU) recently launched a new bachelor's degree in content creation, offered through its Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. The curriculum overlaps with that of ASU's mass communication and media studies degree, with the major departure being a slate of specialized electives on podcasting, studio production, and on-camera presence. ASU's announcement was met with swift criticism from many sides—from people who feel content creation is not a legitimate profession to those who question the value of a college degree in launching a social media career. But the ASU program is not the first of its kind. And the university, which declined an interview request about the new program, is not the first to offer content creation courses. Universities, eager to compete for a shrinking student population, are rolling out new majors intended to prepare students for today's careers. Whether they lead to jobs can be up for debate. To Brooke Erin Duffy, a communication professor at Cornell University, these college programs represent an inflection point. During the past year, Duffy said, institutions in education and beyond have been acknowledging content creation as a viable career path—even if the term "influencer" itself hits a nerve. On social media, influencers are everywhere, sharing shopping recommendations and lifestyle content, or promoting beliefs about health or politics. Because even influencers with relatively small followings have loyal audiences, brands also often pay them to talk about products. The image of a prototypical influencer, Duffy said, is usually a "young girl who is snapping selfies and just reaping in tremendous rewards for seemingly not doing anything." But that's not the reality for many content creators, who are working on media production, audience retention strategies, brand partnerships, and business relationships associated with their online presence.

Amazon set to expand drone delivery of lightweight packages to 500 US cities
Millions more people may be able to get smaller, lightweight Amazon packages delivered by drones by the end of the year under a plan the company announced to expand airborne shipping to suburban areas in nearly 500 US cities. Customers could receive the drone deliveries in as fast as 30 minutes, Amazon said in a news release. The drones can carry packages up to 5 pounds. The plan will intensify the battle between Amazon and Walmart to provide consumers with the fastest delivery times. Both giants rely on a mix of drones and drivers to deliver everything consumers have ordered. The goal is not necessarily about cutting costs by replacing drivers and trucks—and drones that can only carry one package at a time would have a hard time doing that. But instead, these companies are using drones as one tool to help keep customers happy with quicker deliveries, banking on a faster delivery system attracting more shoppers. Amazon’s plan would expand its drone delivery operation more than sixfold nationwide into hundreds of new communities, including the Chicago, Atlanta, Cleveland, and Boise metro areas. The drones will primarily fly in the suburbs, well away from skyscrapers and major airports that could cause problems. Each drone site serves multiple cities in a metro area, and Amazon would not say exactly how many new sites it is planning to begin flying from. Hundreds of thousands of packages have already been delivered by Amazon drones this year, but even after this expansion, drones will still only handle a fraction of the hundreds of millions of package deliveries each year. In addition to only being able to carry 5 pounds, the drones Amazon builds face countless challenges, from tree cover to landscaping and inflatable pools that can make it hard to find a good drop zone. There are also regulatory hurdles to overcome in every community where Amazon wants to set up operations. Noise concerns also pose a potential challenge. “It’s still an experiment. It’s still in test-and-learn mode,” said Sucharita Kodali, who is a retail analyst with Forrester. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
