Handicrafts are unique illustrations of a specific culture or community through local artistry and materials.

Handicraft production is a significant form of employment in many developing countries and often a major part of the export economy. Globalization along with growing markets for home decor products—especially in the United States, Canada, and Europe—also creates many new opportunities. Particularly, the demand for “cultural goods” is predicted to grow with rising international tourism and an increasing basis on interior decoration, and as a reaction to the uniformity of mass-produced products.

While we are constantly reminded that we have made numerous strides in technology over the last few decades, our actual ability to notice the changes that have occurred is minimal. This is because it doesn’t happen all at once or suddenly, but rather at a gradual pace that is hallmarked by small spurts. As we improve and adapt our technology, we don’t characterize them as revolutionary, except save for a few monumental breakthroughs.

For instance, our Wi-Fi speeds and availability have gradually increased, consumer trends shape functionality, and our smartphone devices change designs ever so slightly from year to year. Yet, we have gone from dial-up internet to a version of the internet that has incredible speeds and is accessible from almost anywhere in the last 15 years. The same goes for virtual reality, a concept that a few decades ago, only existed in science fiction literature. Now? It is evolving and will impact our society in the next 10-15 years and here is how.
