The New Dimension Technology and Business
Technology has shaped all areas of our lives, from the way think and do things, down to our business. It has become a pivot for development. No wonder anyone who is technologically inclined is just way behind the world some decades ago.
Tonight, I'm going to talk about how technological evolution has shaped the Kente and Adinkra cloth worn by Ghanaians and many other people.
The story behind Kente is just amazing, as the weaver studies how the spider weaves its web, He applied this method and it is through that Kente's weaving emerged. It is very significant in Ghanaian culture as is mostly worn by Kings and other high-profile people in the society.
The patronage of this clothing has become very rampant and therefore weavers cannot use the same method of old as it consumes time before a complete set of the cloth. Changes needed to be made and weavers have now substituted another method of designing the symbols in the cloth manually with a machine.
Work that initially was supposed to last for 2 weeks now can last for 2 days which is very incredible.
I recently visited a client to see how his business is growing and I am very happy to come about this machine.

Technology has indeed improved every aspect of our lives, we no longer need to stress to get things done.
