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%).

4. AS 1684.3—2010 2
PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australian/Standards New Zealand
Committee TM-002, Timber Framing, to supersede AS 1684.3—2006.
After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards
New Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an
Australian/New Zealand Standard.
This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (June 2012). The changes required by the
Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the
clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected.
The objective of this Standard is to provide the building industry with procedures that can
be used to determine building practice, to design or check construction details, and to
determine member sizes, and bracing and fixing requirements for timber-framed
construction in cyclonic areas.
The objectives of this revision are to―
This is a free 9 page sample. Access the full version online.
(a) include editorial amendments and some technical changes to correct mistakes, clarify
interpretation and enhance the application of the document;
(b) incorporate the outcomes of recent research projects that considered the role and
function of wall noggings (Clause 6.2.1.5) and alternative simplified tie-down
systems for higher wind areas in particular using ring beam construction methods;
(c) include information on generic building practices for EWPs (engineered wood
products), which are being widely used in timber-framed construction (see Appendix
J); and
(d) provide some adjustments to the Span Table values in Supplements for stress grades
MGP 10, MGP 12 and MGP 15 in response to changes to the design characteristic
values for these stress grades in AS 1720.1.
NOTE:These adjustments have been made recognizing that MGP stress grades represent the
major product usage in the marketplace. Further work is required to assess and more fully
respond to existing and expected changes to the related loading, design, and design criteria
Standards, and this may result in a future revision of Span Tables in the Supplements for all
stress grades.
The increased scope and application of this Standard to cater for these conditions has also
led to the need to perform a more rigorous design check on a wider range of members and
construction practices including windowsill trimmers and roof bracing.
This Standard is a companion publication to the following:
AS
1684 Residential timber-framed construction
1684.1 Part 1: Design criteria
1684.2 Part 2: Non-cyclonic areas
1684.4 Part 4: Simplified—Non-cyclonic areas
It should also be noted that AS 1684.4 includes additional differences to AS 1684.2 and
1684.3.
6. AS 1684.3—2010 4
This Standard does not preclude the use of framing, fastening or bracing methods or
materials other than those specified. Alternatives may be used, provided they satisfy the
requirements of the Building Code of Australia.
Statements expressed in mandatory terms in Notes to tables and figures are deemed to be
requirements of this Standard.
Notes to the text contain information and guidance. They are not an integral part of the
Standard.
Statements expressed in mandatory terms in Notes to the Span Tables are deemed to be
requirements of this Standard.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part
of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.
