Did you know that the first prototype of a webcam was created so that researchers could check if the coffee pot in another room was empty or not? Scientists at the University of Cambridge, Dr Quentin Stafford-Fraser and Dr Paul Jardetzky, decided to solve the always empty coffee pot mystery by rigging up a camera. It would capture images three times a minute and send them to the researchers' internal computer network. Thus, the world's first webcam was born.

The cover of Tyler, The Creator's 2024 album Chromakopia features a traditional Amasunzu as well. In pre-colonial Rwandan culture, the hairstyle was a sign of a certain social status, power, and wealth.
