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%).

KPCC TV Covers Falun Gong Practitioners' Protest at Chinese Consulate
(Clearwisdom.net) Los Angeles - On February 15, 2012, the day before Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping's visit to
Los Angeles as part of his United States tour, Falun Gong practitioners held a rally in front of the Chinese Consulate
in L.A. The practitioners urged Xi to conduct an investigation of the Chinese officials who have been persecuting
Falun Gong over the past 13 years; to stop the persecution of Falun Gong; and to bring former Chinese leader Jiang
Zemin and his accomplices in the persecution, Luo Gan, Zhou Yongkang, Liu Jing, and Bo Xilai, to justice.
KPCC TV reported the same day that despite the torrential rain, around
70 people rallied in front of the Chinese Consulate Wednesday afternoon
to protest the Chinese government’s persecution of Falun Gong: “'[Falun
Gong] is a spiritual meditation practice,' explained Ying Nian Wu, a
professor of statistics at UCLA and spokesperson for the local Falun
Gong chapter. 'If they [practitioners] refuse to denounce their beliefs,
they will be tortured to death.'” The report continued, “Protestors claim
that more than 3,500 people have been confirmed killed by Chinese
Communist Party police. 'The Communist regime is a criminal gang,' said
Wu. 'But I hope he [Xi] follows his conscience to do something that a Falun Gong practitioners demand an end to
person, a human being, should do.'” the persecution
Austria: Practitioners Introduce Falun Dafa at Health Expo
(Clearwisdom.net) The “Life Expo” was held on January 22 and 23, 2012, in Graz, Austria. Falun Dafa practitioners
participated in the event and introduced the cultivation practice of Falun Dafa to visitors. They demonstrated the five
sets of exercises in the open space beside their booth. Their shimmering golden exercise outfits and graceful
exercise movements drew many Expo visitors, many of whom watched the demonstration for a long time.
A woman who watched the practitioners for quite awhile remarked that she
felt a strong energy field, and asked about learning Dafa. A practitioner told
her that Falun Gong practitioners teach the exercises free of charge and
also gave her information about a practice site in a park in Graz. A couple
stopped in front of the practitioners doing the exercises and said, “We have
been to China and once saw similar scenes of people doing the exercises.”
A practitioner told them about Falun Dafa and about the Chinese
Communist Party’s persecution of the practice. The couple wished Falun
Practitioners demonstrate the Falun Gong practitioners success and expressed their appreciation for the
Gong exercises at the “Life Expo” in practitioners’ efforts to expose and end the persecution.
Graz, Austria
Many visitors asked about where and how to learn Falun Gong. Some bought the German edition of Falun Gong, an
introduction to the practice. Many people learned about Falun Dafa for the first time. They were also made aware of
the brutal persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in China by the Chinese Communist Party.
Cancer Cured after Practicing Falun Dafa
(Clearwisdom.net) I am a 30-year-old woman who lives in Shenzhou City, Hebei Province, China. Last spring, I
suddenly felt unwell. An examination at the doctor's office revealed that I had pancreatic cancer. I had to leave my
one-year-old child at home and go to Tianjin to be hospitalized. I spent a great deal of money on the hospitalization
and treatment but my condition did not improve. The doctor told my family that surgery would not be a viable option
and that my cancer was incurable. I was told that I had at most one or two months left to live.
After returning home, a Falun Gong practitioner in my village visited me when she heard about my condition. She
told me, "Now, only Falun Dafa can help you." She gave me an MP3 audio player with the Falun Dafa lectures.
Through listening to the lectures, I realized that Dafa is genuine and is for saving lives, so I started to practice. After
that, I felt healthier each day. Six months later, I returned to the hospital for a follow-up exam. The pancreatic cancer
had miraculously disappeared. Even the doctors were amazed.
