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%).

Google Promote, Remove and Comment Feature; Is it a death-knell on all established SEO
techniques? What is it's apparent effect on Search engine optimization? How is it going to
affect the SERPs (results page)? A colossal change has just been made by big G. Google
could not have gotten better at what it does. It revolutionized the search engine all over
again.
To the makers of Google, it is nothing short of the fairy-tale crystal ball where they can see
everything happening around in the universe. Everyone online is sort of an open book to
Google whether you want it or not. And just when you thought that Google already knows too
much about people; about what they thought, what they dreamed, what they pursued, what
they shopped, what they searched, Google comes up with another milestone idea to get
people even more personal; the ability to promote, remove search results by every individual
on the planet and add unique comments to any of your preferred result. Wow, so what if you
decide to promote a website from 50th page to 1st page. And let's say you demote a top
ranking result into oblivion, never to be seen on the 1st page again. So in one click did you
just kill the hype and hoopla of search engine optimization?
Because the best of optimized pages could literally be gone out of your sight with this tool if
you decided to have it so. And if it is really so, then this is the END OF THE WORLD. Is it the
END of conventional SEO? Do i hear a pin-drop silence?
No need to panic yet. If you see the buttons then you must have noticed that they appear
only when you are logged in to your Google account, and the reprise is that they only affect
the results that you see, not what the world does. Do i hear a sigh of relief? If you want to
skip my detailed analysis and description of this feature, you may straightaway read the
conclusion at the bottom.
How does Google promote/remove actually work? A specific example.
To check the same, simply log in to your account, let's say you do a Google search for the
keyword phrase "webkinz dollar store", and click on the promote button next to a result in a
subsequent page. You will immediately see it magically go to the topmost SERP in the 1st
page. If you click on 'promote' for another "webkinz dollar store" search result, it will move
into the second place on the 1st page itself. You can move the second web page to the first
2. position by clicking "promote" on it again. Now Log out and search again for the same
keyword, you will see your selected pages dropping back to its original ranking position.
Login again and you will notice your chosen pages are back to your promoted order. If you
click remove on any of your promoted website, it will return to its previous place in your
Google search results. But If you click remove randomly on any un-promoted website, it will
be permanently removed from any results. Of course you can get it back to the search results
by clicking on restore at the bottom. The results are associated with your Google account
only so they will be constant across any computes of you account logs.
At first instance it is bound to give the webmasters a cold feet with the thought that Google
has handed over the fate of search engine results to people and everything about SEO goes
to the dumps. It convincingly looks like, as if now people are to alter, improvise the worldwide
top results for each search term. But it certainly isn't the case. It's only for your own Google
account, for your own personalized result page order. And it is important to know that every
new search term will have entirely different promoted and removed results than the other.
I'm sure even the biggest of SEO experts, guides and critics must have lost their nerve for a
second with their first experience with Google promote and remove feature just as much as I
did. So the big question still remains, is this the end of our struggle and success with SEO?
Is it really all up to searchers and surfers to decide the ranks of our web pages? Are we
supposed to watch helplessly all the big and popular web pages get to the top, while the
smaller ones vanishing away? Thank the stars that it isn't the case.
What is Google promote / remove system called?
It's called SearchWiki. SearchWiki lets users have their own order of promoted and removed
results, and leave comments on specific links. Google thus remembers changes that are
made by the account holder to the organic search results pages, and subsequent searches
will then be displayed as per the user's customisations and notes. And most importantly,
users will also have the option of seeing how other searchers have rated and reordered
search results and view their notes as well, making search results a innovative community
based initiative.
Who does searchwiki help?
In course of time, it will surely make a huge impact on how SEO affects a site in my opinion.
Prior to this feature, a webmaster was the only individual who had an influence on the SEO
aspects but now each and every Google user has the ability to decide where that site should
be listed, making search engine results a different concept altogether. It may even
revolutionize the idea or existing technology like browser bookmarks and RSS readership.
Customized search result page? Is it happening?
The way it stands now, it isn't a possibility e.g., a specific page could be pushed to the top
result for everyone just by getting shoppers or enthusiasts to 'promote' that site a million
times. Neither can your competitors outrank your site by clicking on removal link a thousand
times.
Yes, you can now customize your search results with the organic rankings, deletions, leave
notes against each page for future reference and see how other Google users have tailored
their searches. SearchWiki notes will be visible to other users, identified with your Google
Account nickname.
What are the implications of Google searchwiki on SEO?
It is like an alarm bell for everyone to straighten up their act, specially thin affiliate sites,
spammers or the ones resorting to black hat stuff. Yes sooner or later there will hardly be a
scope for anyone to deviate even by an inch from the core of search engine fundamentals.
That is relevance and accuracy.
Yes, many things will be affected from sales to delivery and reporting. SEO won't be dead
3. but it will have evolved and more oriented towards content than techniques .
Google has been remarkable in preventing spam and this new tool on the prima-facie would
not only generate more direct data for Google analysis but would also also initiate a mass
spam removal movement worldwide. As far as promoted and removed data is concerned,
Google obviously is wary of SEO masters using proxy servers running multiple alias sites
and redirect pages and unethical methods that can easily used to promote a single page.
Hence they will never make a mistake of simply considering all the votes gained for a page to
it's ranking algorithm for organic searches without due verification. All of this will give Google
a whole new perspective to search user habit and patterns by allowing the user to mix and
alter the organic results itself. Unthinkable but true that it is already happening.
What if Google decides to apply the promotional and removal data to page ranks? Dooms
day?
Top 10 ranking results will be flooded with the sites that the majority of people prefer. The
hottest and most popular existing pages will fill up the top slots overnight, for every
imaginable keyword search phrase. The scope for newer, smaller, unpopular websites will
virtually perish with no place in the top noticeable positions. As a result it will hardly ever gain
a promotion. And slowly it will stand as good as removed even if it is not.
It might be great to force people to look at the most popular websites, but the small ones
which are less marketed or are comparatively of less value or quality will never stand a
chance. Lesser traffic can never be the final diagnostic indicator.
But look at this from the perspective of a person who's looking to find something out. If I need
to learn about the "webkinz dollar store", I don't frankly care whether that comes from a small
blog or a an unknown forum page, as long as I find the info I need, and its reliable. And I can
always find them right where i need from anywhere in the world.
For those concerned about SEO.
The agony or the anxiety about it's effect on SEO and rankings could be erased in a second
just by reminding ourselves of the one and only governing factor about search engines, that
their existence itself depends and will always be on it's ability to offer accurate and relevant
information to the users and not anybody else. Even searchwiki, this new Google tool is
intended with no other intent but relevance. Isn't it so common find relevant content even
after page 10 at times? ( I don't know about you, but I do search deep when I need
information ). In such a case one would either bookmark that page or copy the content for
future reference. I always sympathize with quality web pages nowhere near to the top
ranking positions. That proves that just great content alone can not guarantee top ten results.
A multitude of factors like SEO, backlinks, sandbox are responsible to drive a page to the
top. And the process itself is slow.
Relevance will now be "of the search (Google), by the search (Google) and for the search
(Google)." Sounds quite like a democratic definition of a search engine.
Not so long ago when webmasters saw the immense potential in harnessing people's
bookmarking habits, the craze of social bookmarking sites diggs, del.ico.us erupted overnight
giving search relevance a completely relative meaning.
Things will now change. What better to bookmark a page from within the searches in just one
click with no further accounts to log in to.
Backlinks and quality links are still the driving forces behind a websites rise or fall. It is
equated as votes earned from other sites. As far as Google's stand point is concerned, a
natural promotion of a webpage from different un-suspicious IP addresses can count as
votes of relevance for a search phrase.
Scientists are maybe still trying to unify the forces of nature into one formulae, but looks like
Google almost successfully unified the world.
4. Welcome to Google monopoly. Look how it gets bigger by the day.
One Account: Where your world converges.
(Oh if you haven't got a Google account yet. You will be compelled to have one sooner or
later)
One Search Engine: The keyword manufacturing unit. Keyword demand supply chain.
Unlimited Manpower at work for the biggest keyword market. From where internet business
and ecommerce are governed.
One Search Tool (External keywords tool) : Manufactured keywords put on window display.
Who does have a better authority to declare than Google itself, about what people are
exactly searching for? Take it or leave it.
One Traffic Estimator: (Google lets you judge the cost of your keyword too) Window
shopping for keywords.
One AdWords: OK so interested parties can shop for keywords from the keyword store.
One AdSense: Auctioned keywords recycled back to the people (searcher) working in the
keyword factory.
One Webmaster Tools: The manufacturers of keyword money are now the safekeepers of all
your keyword rich belongings.
One Analytics: Realtime live tv telecasting keyword news to keep the buyers and sellers
interested.
One Web history: Refined fuel for the keyword engine machinery. Everyone's web habit and
online track records are well kept with Google. They exactly know geo-specific, cultural
specific keyword needs. Well who better to assign a price-tag to a keyword up for auction?
One Homepage (iGoogle): If all these have become second nature to you, then iGoogle is
the way to stay hooked. You will get a handful on your finger tips.
And Now Google searchwiki: Google taking control of what you thought is best for you.
It is like, you have helped manufacture some great and moderate keywords so far, so why
don't you manufacture some great result pages with your click votes too. After all there are a
free gazillion keyword workers (search engine users) in the factory (Google) at any given
point in time. Keep working a bit extra and Google shall know what exactly the gazillion
wants to see or not see. The fairytale crystal ball is for real now.
Where do you stand? Your best kept secrets are the best resources to the Google rulers.
Google knows what buyers want, what sells most. Google knows what sellers want, what
buyers are willing to pay, how much are they willing to pay for, where do best buyers come
from and the sellers too. The world wide web is not so entangled for the big G anymore. They
conquered the world faster than Alexander.
Everyone's Top 10 Pages will look different for the same search phrase. Scary to even think
about it.
Google has gotten perfect at eradicating it's imperfections. And if you thought you had a
reason to point a finger at them due to erroneous relevant results, they gave the baton to you
to improvise. Google may use 20 million algorithms in a millisecond to offer what is relevant.
But now they will have a gazillion more from an entire planet to vote for and review their own
definition of relevant searches.
Conclusion.What are the future projections and it's impact on SEO practices?1. Analysis of
top ten projections and reporting is likely to change based on a world consensus.
2. The definitions for pagerank and rankings for single phrases and e-commerce variables
could change. If a considerable number of people are not seeing a particular result in the first
pages because they have it custom configured for a particular phrase with pre-selected
results crowding the top, then definitely there would be lesser click-throughs as even the top
sites will be pushed back further. Thus resulting in lesser visitor count for subsequent pages
5. and affecting pagerank algorithms.
3. Marketers and SEO experts will have to look at a bigger picture than being obsessed with
pagerank and rankings for single phrases.
4. Google AdWords will become more eminent as an assured method for topping the results
with paid rankings, even if the user's result page is highly customized. This means more
revenues for Google.
5. When everyone starts to promote their favorite sites, the quality of content will definitely
become even more undeniable (as it should be), and "classic" SEO techniques will need a
complete re-orientation.
6. Marketers and SEO industry now thriving on Google, will be more proactive on Yahoo,
Quil etc as alternative options.
7. Since this feature is only for Google user accounts. As of now the page rank and result
pages outside logged Google accounts will very much be based on the organic SERPs.
Especially given the fact that yahoo still owns more account user bases than Google. But
eventually they will dominate even more with search engine market share, because of their
unlimited customizable features.
8. As this Search Wiki tweak can be highly prone to spams, we won't really see any sea
change in the PR status radically soon until the rest of the planet not on Google account
register and start using the feature.
9. Analytics will be even more laser focussed. Google will harness immense amount of
personalized data and use them to improve relevance of results. You now will have to option
to know your promotion vs removal ratio for every indexed page. You will soon know your
popularity rank as much as your PR rank.
10. You will soon be presented with realtime reviews on your web pages moderated or not
moderated by Google.
11. Websites with genuine content and relevance will now be a super must to even fair
anywhere near.
12. SEO will spell "Authority pages" more than "Optimized pages".
13. Survival of the fittest will be the new Google theory.
14. All onsite testimonials and reviews on products, services often clinically engineered or
manipulated will matter less because you will have realtime online reviews even before you
land on that page. (Google comment feature = Realtime reviews)
Millions of webmasters and people must still be biting their nails, trying to figure out what is
wrong or right with our big Google. How is it likely to affect the already established
businesses, websites and SEO? But I hope this article gives you enough insight about our
fate or growth on Google in near future.
Another search engine revolution has begun with Google Promote, Remove and Comment
Feature. Are you ready for the change?

"Statutory Warning"
Affiliate marketing has serious occupational hazards like voluntary submission to amnesia
and (OIC) obsessive internet compulsion. But sleep can wait till mustaches turn Grey. What if
you already have one? Then you have slept enough. Take a leap with me.
