This forum was not only a professional cultural gathering but also a vibrant cross-cultural dialogue among youth. During the forum's activities, Aymene, a Generation Z student from Morocco studying in Hangzhou, visited sites such as Liangzhu Museum, personally experiencing how digital technology is reshaping museums - a vivid demonstration of international youth's innovative approach to "unlocking museums."
At Liangzhu Museum, Aymene engaged with the "Liangzhu Ancestors AI Face Swap Generator," where artificial intelligence created a personal portrait infused with Liangzhu cultural elements. In front of the camera, he exclaimed, "It truly generated an AI image of me in the style of Liangzhu!" With the integration of AI, museums are no longer just places to observe history but have evolved into platforms to converse with history. Technology has rendered traditional culture tangible, approachable, and playful.

Another highlight was the AR headset tour. Aymene marveled at how it "broke the limits of perception." With a simple gesture, pottery and jade cong artifacts from 5,000 years ago leapt vividly before his eyes, accompanied by clear explanations of their functions, craftsmanship, and historical backgrounds. Regarding these technological displays of cultural heritage, Aymene remarked, "They have turned 5,000-year-old cultural symbols into a universal language for the world. With cultural continuity enhanced by technological innovation, it's no wonder that this homegrown AR headset from Hangzhou won the admiration of museum directors from around the globe."
Through the lens of international youth, this forum raised an inspiring question: "How can Generation Z and museums achieve mutual engagement?" The answers are gradually emerging: telling artifact stories through short videos, and reviving ancient ruins with AI--these approaches not only dissolve the boundaries of space and perception but also reshape how people connect with cultural heritage.
To Gen Z, museums aren't dusty relics--they're a fleeting moment in history's river, a high-five across the expanse of time. With the advance of digital technologies and the growing cultural consciousness among global youth, future museums may evolve from being mere repositories of the past into laboratories for the future.
From "understanding" to "participating," from "passive reception" to "active engagement," international youth are redefining the way to unlock museums. This vibrant dialogue across the world is breathing new life into museums, opening up infinite possibilities for the future.

ezPOD Launches Open Beta Program to Transform Construction Material Delivery Documentation
Sheridan, Wyoming--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2025) - ezPOD has announced the launch of its open beta program, offering construction industry professionals complimentary access to one of the first modern proof of delivery documentation platforms designed specifically for material providers, contractors, and drivers. ezPOD - Proof of Delivery Experts To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The limited-time beta program provides unlimited access to all platform features, including digital POD creation, photo uploads, GPS tracking, delivery timestamps, and permanent PDF documentation for construction material deliveries. "There are two goals for the open beta," said Ken Trent, Founder and CEO of ezPOD. "The first is to spread awareness and begin to refine our core audience and target customers. The second is to continue to refine the product, eliminate lingering bugs, and ensure a smooth and delightful customer experience when we finally do start charging for our service." The platform addresses a critical gap in the construction industry where no modern proof of delivery systems exist for large-scale material deliveries such as pallets of drywall, complete lumber packages, brick, stone, and framing hardware. Solving Real Industry Problems Trent's inspiration for ezPOD came from his experience at one of the nation's largest construction finance companies, where he witnessed contentious delivery disputes that could have been easily resolved with proper documentation. "We had a couple of very contentious disputes over material deliveries with customers," Trent explained. "If we had this product at that time, it would have immediately resolved the delivery dispute and helped all parties quickly move beyond the dispute and toward productive business operations." In one specific case, a contractor claimed they never received delivered materials. The material provider's paper proof of delivery documents were compromised by coffee stains that made materials and addresses illegible, while another document incorrectly listed the lumber yard as the destination rather than the origin address. "ezPOD would have solved this with GPS coordinates and timestamp of the delivery and photos taken," Trent noted. Comprehensive Digital Solution The ezPOD platform offers real-time material tracking, instant delivery notifications, precise GPS coordinates, photographic evidence, and automated PDF generation for each delivery transaction. All documentation is permanently stored and accessible via download or API integration. Unlike traditional paper-based systems prone to damage, loss, and human error, ezPOD creates tamper-proof digital records that provide accountability and transparency throughout the material delivery process. The platform targets three primary user categories: material providers who need reliable delivery documentation, contractors requiring proof of receipt, and drivers who must verify successful deliveries. Strategic Beta Launch The company's decision to offer all features complimentary during the beta period reflects a strategic approach to market entry and product refinement. By providing unrestricted access, ezPOD aims to build its user base across the construction supply chain while gathering operational data before transitioning to a paid model. Founded in March 2025, ezPOD represents Trent's extensive background in eCommerce and technology. The company's mission focuses on providing the best proof of delivery documentation for the construction industry while making the process simple, accessible, and modern. About ezPOD ezPOD is headquartered in Sheridan, Wyoming, and operates in the shipping services sector for residential and commercial construction. The company provides modern proof of delivery documentation solutions designed specifically for construction material deliveries, offering features including real-time tracking, GPS coordinates, photographic evidence, and permanent PDF documentation.
