Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

u
La capital de Bután se ha
convertido en el mejor reflejo
de la religión, cultura y
evolución del país. Desde la
visita al templo más antiguo de
la zona, el Changangkha
Lhakhang, hasta su Librería
Nacional, la ciudad comienza a
experimentar un cambio
sociológico que se percibe en
sus cibercafés o las discotecas
donde la elite butanesa baila
junto a los visitantes
extranjeros.

Dordenma es todo un ejemplo de
arquitectura religiosa, midiendo
hasta 50 metros y bañada
totalmente en oro. A su vez, el

Las aldeas de Bután siguen siendo

también puede disfrutar de sus
costumbres, comida, juegos y
actividades agrícolas.

Bután
Si eres un amante del arte y la
artesanía, entonces el Instituto
de las 13 artes y artesanías
tradicionales en Timbu es donde
deberías estar. Esto se debe a
que los jóvenes butaneses
adquieren las habilidades
que decoran la arquitectura, los
textiles, las joyas y todo lo
demás de Bután.
26. 3. Sea testigo de un torneo de tiro con arco
El tiro con arco es mucho más
que un deporte en Bután. Es
una obsesión. Los hombres
dedican grandes cantidades de
tiempo, energía y dinero en el
juego.
Lo tradicional de este juego
consiste en arcos y flechas de
bambú, y cuentan con el equipo
de caza con arco más caro del
mundo.
27. 4. Partiendo en Thimbu
Si te apetece un poco de cerveza
local mientras viajas, entonces no
debes perderte la vida nocturna del
fin de semana en Timbu.
Donde se encuentran muchos clubes
nocturnos, lugares de música en vivo
y muchos otros lugares de baile
tradicional llamados “Drayangs”.
28. 5. El nido del
tigre
El complejo del monasterio es enorme. Los
edificios principales están junto a
pequeñas capillas y casas de elaborada
decoración. En cada una de estas
construcciones encontraremos una imagen
sagrada, un lugar único para la relajación y
la meditación. Siempre con imágenes
doradas de Guru Rinpoche y sus
diferentes manifestaciones.
Encontrarás ofrendas a sus pies: arroz,
galletas, agua, dinero. Allí se encuentra la
cueva donde se supone que el Segundo
Buda meditó durante aquellos 3 meses y
derroto a los demonios del lugar. Las
paredes decoradas con murales donde
vemos las 8 manifestaciones distintas en
las que Guru Rinpoche se presentó a lo
largo de su vida.
La apariencia del monasterio, que se
sostiene en un acantilado, es
verdaderamente un espectáculo para la
vista. Después de una hora y media de
escalada.
29. NOT TO DO
- No tatuajes
- Cuidado con los perros
- Ten cuidado con lo que dices
- No fumar en lugares públicos
- Compra artesanías pero no antiguedades
31. Todos deben vestir el traje oficial
butanés en su día a día, en todas
sus actividades públicas.
Los matrimonios pueden ser
arreglados por los padres o por
las personas que se casan. Para
contraer matrimonio, se
requiere un certificado del
Tribunal de Justicia, pero la
mayoría de los matrimonios
son realizados por un líder
religioso.
Al hablar con las personas de
mayores edades, ellos se
inclinan ligeramente hacia
adelante, miren hacia abajo y se
cubren la boca con la mano
derecha.
Al visitar un Templo:
•Quitar sus zapatos y sombreros
antes de entrar al templo.
•No tome fotos dentro del templo.
•No hable en voz alta.
•Camine alrededor del templo en

El estilo arquitectónico característico
de Bután se observa en los dzongs y

cuestiones políticas y religiosas.

de Bután incluye un espectro
de subgéneros, que van desde

canciones religiosas. Algunos
géneros de la música

38. MITOS
Druk es el "Dragón del Trueno" de la
mitología butanesa y un símbolo nacional
butanés. Aparece un Druk en la bandera de
Bután, sosteniendo joyas para representar la
riqueza de la nación. Según los relatos
tradicionales, cuando el fundador de la secta,
Tsangpa Gyare, primer Gyalwang Drukpa,
comenzó a construir el Monasterio Ralung,
hubo una violenta tormenta. El trueno, o la
"Voz de la nube", se ve como el rugido del
dragón. Decidiendo que esto era un presagio,
nombró al monasterio Drug-Ralung,
agregando la palabra "dragón del trueno" al
nombre.
