With technology and world development, we are more interconnected than ever. That is why multimedia company BBB World Media has created Gokul! World. The new media property creates content for kids from ages 4 to 7 years old that focuses on inclusion and diversity.
Jeni Chapman is the CEO of Gokul! World and she joins Cheddar to talk about their new book and music video. Chapman believes that children need to see characters in books and videos that they can relate to, wherever they are from! Their first book, "Gokul Village and the Magic Foundation" focuses on diversity, teamwork, and New Years Eve celebrations around the world.
Chapman has big goals for the company in 2018. Gokul! World is looking to create more content and get the "Gokul Village" and all their characters on TV.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
