customers here are trying out a prototype virtual reality shopping assistant. most transactions still involve exchanging hard cold cash for goods the primary method for food shoppers. but that's slowly changing. in retail one in eight euros is now spent online and the trend is increasing alongside technological advances. that means businesses need to adapt specifically they need to rethink how they train their staff. that's. of course we urgently need experts to deal with these changes we traditionally hire college grads are people making career changes. but that won't be enough going forward it will be critical to train up a new generation of apprentices. these intrepid youngsters are part of media mark's new training efforts again i like working on computers of course a broad based education is needed but i think the main thing is having good computer skills is if you met them who are involved in digitalization and we can build things online shopping is constantly developing everyone shops online i hardly anyone goes to stores anymore that's why i'm doing thi

do you shop on the high street?”e than most of my friends, mainly because i find it convenient. ifi mainly because i find it convenient. if i want something i am impatient andl if i want something i am impatient and i want it now. but it is becoming increasingly hard to do so and increasingly you will see shops closing down. the big question is, as henry said, when the small shops close you end up with a couple of very big retailers like amazon and prior mark and you have much less choice as a consumer. —— primark. we should be able to shop around and have things at different price marks and it seems like we're heading a monopoly right now. it is interesting, this question about how we use shops now. i was talking to lord randall, the conservative peer who used to own a department store, and he told us was that one of the problems was towards the end he was finding people were coming in, looking at beds and furniture, probably bouncing on the mattresses, testing them out, as we all do, opening the doors, all that stu

to a beauty shop. she knew that she could get her hair washed there, we understand that, she literally has stuff caked in her hair. she doesn't even have her shoe because she had to run away from what was happening at woolworth's. the way she described her treatment once she gets into the salon is something that can help us think about black women and black women's role and the importance of institutions that are sort of owned by and run by black women. and it sustains women like moody who were on the front lines of the movement. she knew that in the beauty shop it would be a safe place. it would be a refuge for her. the place where she could not only have her hair washed but the way that she talks about the gentle pampering by the beautician and even the way that she refers to how the other women who were in the shop let her go ahead of them. it shows that also was a place where many ways she could have her soul restored. i think that is something that we need to think about a lot that's we are readin

so the beauty shop becomes a place of refuge for her. i use that as an introduction to get us to think about how the beauty shop wasn't just a place of refuge but also became a place where activism itself could be planned and could be enacted. so i want us to talk about that a little bit. but i thought it might be useful to have the weird opportunity -- you actually have the author of one of your pieces in front of you who is also your professor, so that could get a little weird. we're all cool now, so you all can ask me anything, and feel free to use the strategies of critique that i have been training you with all semester on my own work. actually, nothing would make me happier than that. but i thought it might be useful to talk about how i stumbled on this work of beauticians and the civil rights movement. it's sort of an odd thing. it's something i never envisioned doing. it almost doesn't make sense except when i got into the sources. as a graduate student, i was really interested in black women's activism, just sort of in a general
