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%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

LUONNOSTA MALLI
INNOVAATIOILLE
PARKINMÄKI TRAIL PARKINMÄEN LUONTOPOLKU
Seeking inspiration? WELCOME!
It took 3.8 billion years of evolution for living organisms
around us to become as they are. On that long way they
have been solving crucial issues of life and death,
reproduction, adaptation and occupying new niches.
Survived only successful ones.
Can we learn from them? YES.
Biomimetics (or biomimicry) is about
nature inspired design, the transfer
of ideas from biology to technology.
Along this trail you can find several
info stands, each describing some
natural phenomenon that has been
or can be a prototype for an
innovation. The story of each stand
continues with a video presenting
applications of these ideas into
technology or science (install QR-
code scanner if you do not have
one).
Etsitkö inspiraatiota? TERVETULOA!
Vei 3,8 miljardia vuotta evoluutiolta, jotta ympärillämme
elävät organismit kehittyivät sellaisiksi kuin ne nyt ovat. Tuon
pitkän ajan kuluessa ne ovat ratkaisseet välttämättömiä
lisääntymiseen, sopeutumiseen ja uusille elinalueille
levittäytymiseen liittyviä ongelmia. Vain menestyneimmät
niistä selviytyivät.
Voimmeko oppia niiltä? KYLLÄ.
Biomimetiikka on luonnon inspiroimaa suunnittelua, joka
siirtää ideoita biologiasta tekniikkaan.
Tämän polun varrelta löytyy useita tauluja, jotka esittelevät
luonnonilmiöitä, jotka ovat olleet tai voivat olla prototyyppinä
jollekin innovaatiolle. Jokaisen taulun tarina jatkuu videolla,
joka esittelee näiden ideoiden sovelluksia tekniikassa tai
tieteessä. (Lataa QR-koodilukija nähdäksesi videot.)
WHY do we need biomimetics?

PARKINMÄKI TRAIL PARKINMÄEN LUONTOPOLKU
HOW do thousands of bees coordinate the food
search?
Ability of social animals to decentralized self-organizing
behavior is known as swarm intelligence. Following simple
interaction rules individual agents form complex intelligent
behavior on the population level. Bees foraging behavior, first
documented by Aristotle, is one of the examples of swarm
intelligence.
A bee colony is divided into
scout bees and foragers.
Scout bees randomly search
flowers around the hive.
When they find a food source,
they return to the hive and tell
foragers about it by means of
the waggle dance. Its angle
MITEN tuhannet mehiläiset koordinoivat ruoanhaun?
Yhdyskuntaeläinten kyky hajautettuun itsenäiseen
käyttäytymiseen tunnetaan laumaälykkyytenä. Noudattaen
yksinkertaisia vuorovaikutussääntöjä, parven yksittäiset
yksilöt muodostavat monimutkaisen älykkään käyttäytymisen
populaation tasolla. Mehiläisten ruoan etsiminen, jonka
ensimmäisenä havainnoi Aristoteles, on yksi esimerkki
laumaälykkyydestä.
Mehiläisyhteiskunta jakautuu tiedustelijamehiläisiin ja
ruoanhakijoihin. Tiedustelijamehiläiset etsivät kukkia
sattumanvaraisesti pesän ympäriltä. Löytäessään

PARKINMÄKI TRAIL PARKINMÄEN LUONTOPOLKU
Do you see a pine cone around?
Is it close or open? WHY?
Scales of pine cones are self-opening when it is dry and
closing otherwise. The cells are dead, so the mechanism is
passive, no energy is needed to perform it, the trick is in its
structure. The scale functions as a bilayer with different
orientation of cellulose microfibrils.
“In sclerids, the microfibrils
are wound around the cell
(high winding angle) allowing
it to elongate when damp.
Fibres have the microfibrils
orientated along the cell (low
winding angle) which resists
elongation.
The ovuliferous scale
therefore functions as a
bilayer similar to a bimetallic
strip, but responding to
humidity instead of heat.”

Näetkö männynkäpyä lähettyvilläsi?
Onko se kiinni vai auki? MIKSI?
Männynkäpyjen suomut avautuvat itsestään, kun ilma on
kuivaa, ja sulkeutuvat muulloin. Käpyjen solut ovat kuolleet,
joten mekanismi on passiivinen eikä sen tekemiseen tarvita
energiaa. Ominaisuus johtuu siis suomujen rakenteesta.
Kävyn suomu toimii kaksoiskerroksena, jossa on selluloosan
mikrosäikeitä eri suuntiin.
”Suomun ulkopinnan soluissa (sclerids) mikrosäikeet ovat
poikittain antaen suomun venyä, kun on kosteaa. Sisäpuolen
soluissa (fibres) mikrosäikeet ovat suuntautuneet solujen
suuntaisesti, mikä vastustaa venymistä.
Aukeava suomu toimii siis kaksoiskerroksena samoin kuin
kaksoismetalliliuska, mutta reagoi lämmön sijasta
ilmankosteuteen.” Dawson et al. (1997). How pine cones

4. SPIDER WEB HÄMÄHÄKINVERKKO
PARKINMÄKI TRAIL PARKINMÄEN LUONTOPOLKU
HOW tough should spider silk be to catch and keep
preys? HOW do spiders avoid bird collision?
Spider silk is known to be as strong as steel. Its tensile
strength is about 1,3 GPa (steel 0,5-2 GPa), while it is six
times less dense than steel. If a spider made a silk strand
around the Earth, it would weight just about 500 grams. In
addition, spider silk is very stretchy, some types of it can be
stretched five times of their relaxed length without breaking.
Due to the combination of strength and ductility spider silks
are very tough and equivalent to synthetic fibers like Kevlar.
Orb-web spiders need to locate their webs in open space
ensuring high flow of preys. But it also creates a risk of bird
collision. To avoid that spiders invented UV-reflective silk, so
the spider web becomes visible for birds (as well as
butterflies and honeybees), but stays transparent for flies
and other preys.
KUINKA vahva hämähäkin verkon tulisi olla
napatakseen ja pitääkseen saaliita? MITEN
hämähäkit välttävät yhteentörmäyksen lintujen
kanssa?
Hämähäkinverkon tiedetään olevan yhtä vahvaa kuin teräs.
Sen vetolujuus on n. 1,3 GPa (gigapascal) (teräksen 0,5-2
GPa), vaikka se on tiheydeltään kuusi kertaa harvempaa kuin
teräs. Jos hämähäkki kutoisi säikeen maapallon ympäri, säie
painaisi vain n. 500 grammaa. Lisäksi hämähäkinverkot ovat
hyvin venyviä, joitakin niistä voidaan venyttää jopa
viisinkertaiseksi niiden normaaliin pituuteen nähden,
rikkomatta niitä. Vahvuuden ja sitkeyden yhdistelmästä
johtuen hämähäkinverkot ovat erittäin kestäviä ja
verrattavissa synteettisiin kuituihin, kuten esim. Kevlariin.

Ristihämähäkkien täytyy sijoittaa verkkonsa avoimeen
kohtaan taatakseen suuren saaliin. Se luo kuitenkin riskin
törmätä lintuihin. Välttääkseen tämän, hämähäkit kehittivät
UV-valoa heijastavan verkon, jolloin linnut (kuten myös
perhoset ja mehiläiset) näkevät sen, mutta se pysyy
näkymättömänä kärpäsille ja muille saaliille.
5. OWL PÖLLÖ
PARKINMÄKI TRAIL PARKINMÄEN LUONTOPOLKU
Have you seen an owl?
Have you ever heard its fly?
Owls hunt at night time. Being quiet allows them to approach
preys unnoticeable and is crucial for successful hunting.
Generally, the noise of bird flight comes from turbulences of
the air rushing through the clapping wings. Owls have
different feather design to reduce the sound.
Oletko nähnyt pöllöä?
Oletko koskaan kuullut sen lentävän?
Pöllöt metsästävät yöllä. Hiljaa oleminen antaa niiden
lähestyä saaliita huomaamattomasti, mikä on välttämätöntä
onnistuneen metsästyksen kannalta.
Tavallisesti linnun lentämisestä aiheutuva ääni tulee ilman
pyörteistä, jotka syntyvät ilman syöksyessä hakkaavien
siipien läpi. Pöllöillä sulkien muoto on erilainen tämän äänen
vähentämiseksi.
Pöllön siiven etusulissa on koukkumainen rakenne, joka
hajottaa ilmavirtauksen (katso ”anterior border”). Lisäksi
jokainen höyhen on hapsutettu pitkin siiven takareunaa, mikä
edelleen vaimentaa ääntä (katso ”posterior border”). Tämä
sallii siipien liukumisen hiljaa ilmassa.

7. STRUCTURAL
COLORATION
RAKENTEELLINEN
VÄRITYS
PARKINMÄKI TRAIL PARKINMÄEN LUONTOPOLKU
Have you noticed magnificent green-blue color of a
male duck head? What is its secret?
Usually different colors appear from pigments that reflect
light waves of particular length (color) and absorb all the
others. However, colors can be produced from such optical
phenomena as light interference and diffraction. A simple
example is thin film interference that can be observed in
soap bubbles. Resulting color is iridescent, it depends on the
thickness and refractive index of the film, as well as the
angle of light falling or observing.
In nature structural color
can be found in many birds,
including magpies and
peacocks, some butterflies
and beetles, and even
berries (the marble berry).
Apart from thin films, the
natural world uses various
mechanisms to play with
light, like diffraction
gratings, selective mirrors,
Oletko huomannut upean sinivihreän värityksen
koirassorsan päässä? Mikä on sen salaisuus?
Tavallisesti eri värit esiintyvät pigmentteinä, jotka heijastavat
tietyn pituisia valoaaltoja (näemme värin) ja imevät muun
pituiset aallot. Värejä voidaan tuottaa myös sellaisista
optisista ilmiöistä kuin valon interferenssi ja diffraktio.
Yksinkertainen esimerkki on ohut kalvo-interferenssi, jota
voidaan havaita saippuakuplissa. Saippuakuplassa nähdään
sateenkaaren värit, jotka riippuvat kalvon paksuudesta ja
taitekertoimesta sekä valaistuksen tai havainnoinnin
kulmasta.
Rakenteellisia värejä voi nähdä monissa linnuissa, kuten
harakoissa ja riikinkukoissa, eräissä perhosissa ja
kovakuoriaisissa, ja jopa marjoissa (esim. Pollia condensata).
Ohuiden kalvojen lisäksi luonto käyttää erilaisia mekanismeja
leikkiessään valolla, kuten diffraktiohiloja, valikoivia peilejä,
fotonikiteitä, kristallikuituja ja epämuodostuneita matriiseja.

8. LEAVES LEHDET
PARKINMÄKI TRAIL PARKINMÄEN LUONTOPOLKU
Is it shady and cool in the forest even on a sunny
day? WHY?
Leaves evolved to sophisticated instruments of light
capturing. Their disposition, called leaf mosaic, allows
maximum exposure to direct sunlight with minimum loss of
intervening space. Therefore, less light comes through tree
crowns providing freshness in the shade of the forest.
Sunlight is used for photosynthesis taking place in tiny little
green organelles called chloroplasts. They convert light,
water and CO2 into sugars and, thus, are an important
element of the plants feeding system.
Worldwide fight with CO2 emissions incentivizes scientists to
develop new ways of carbon capture. The ability of trees and
other green plants to absorb CO2 has been attracting
researchers’ attention in search for the solution. Ideas of
artificial photosynthesis emerge, but their implementation is
still on a conceptual stage.
Eikö metsässä olekin varjoisaa ja viileää jopa
aurinkoisena päivänä? MIKSI?
Lehdet kehittyivät hienostuneiksi välineiksi valon
vangitsemiseen. Niiden sijoittuminen puun oksistossa
mahdollistaa enimmäisaltistumisen suoralle auringonvalolle
niin, että mahdollisimman vähän tilaa menee hukkaan. Siten
puiden latvuston läpi pääsee vähemmän valoa, mikä tarjoaa
raikkauden metsän varjossa.

Maailmanlaajuinen taistelu hiilidioksidipäästöjen kanssa
kannustaa tutkijoita kehittämään uusia tapoja hiilidioksidin
talteenottoon. Puiden ja muiden vihreiden kasvien kyky imeä
hiilidioksidia on vetänyt tutkijoiden huomion puoleensa,
heidän etsiessään ratkaisua ongelmaan. Ideoita
keinotekoisesta yhteyttämisestä on noussut esiin, mutta
niiden toteutus on edelleen ajatuksen tasolla.
Auringonvaloa käytetään
yhteyttämiseen pienen pienissä
vihreissä soluelimissä, joita kutsutaan
viherhiukkasiksi. Ne muuttavat valoa,
vettä ja hiilidioksidia sokereiksi ja
ovat siten tärkeä osa kasvien
ruokintajärjestelmää.

9. SYMBIOSIS SYMBIOOSI
PARKINMÄKI TRAIL PARKINMÄEN LUONTOPOLKU
Can you see some dry grayish plants on trees and
stones around you? They are not plants…
photosynthesize and feed fungi. Together they obtain new
properties as a living organism and occupy new niches, like
surfaces of stones and trees.
Näetkö kuivia harmahtavia kasveja ympärilläsi
puissa ja kivillä? Ne eivät ole kasveja...
Se on jäkälää. Jäkälät ovat levää ja sienirihmastoa, jotka
elävät symbioottisessa suhteessa ja muodostavat
yhdistelmäorganismin. Sienirihmasto tarjoaa tukea
leväsoluille ja suojaa niitä kuivumiselta. Se myös kerää
ravinteita, joista levät yhteyttävät ja ruokkivat sienirihmastoa.
Yhdessä ne saavat uusia ominaisuuksia elävänä
organismina ja valtaavat uusia elinalueita, kuten kivien ja
puiden pintoja.
Toinen esimerkki symbioosista on maariankämmekkä
(Dactylorhiza maculata), joka myös kasvaa Suomessa. Sen
ollessa pieni maanalainen sipuli, se voi kasvaa vain
symbioosissa sienirihmaston kanssa. Kun siitä tulee
täysikasvuinen kukka, jolla on vihreät, yhteyttävät osat, se
puolestaan ruokkii sienirihmastoa. Symbioottiset suhteet ovat
yleisiä myös eläinten keskuudessa.

10. WOODPECKER TIKKA
PARKINMÄKI TRAIL PARKINMÄEN LUONTOPOLKU
Have you heard a woodpecker drumming a tree? Can
you estimate the frequency?
Woodpeckers drum hard wooden surface of trees with
average frequency of 20 Hz (20 times per second). Nature
equipped their head with a shock absorbing system to avoid
brain damage.
• Comparing to other birds woodpeckers have less space
between the skull and the brain.
• Special spongy bone at the frontal part of the skull damps
the stress force.
Oletko kuullut tikan rummuttavan puuta? Osaatko
arvioida rummutuksen taajuuden?
Tikat rummuttavat puiden kovaa kuorta 20:n hertsin
keskitaajuudella (20 kertaa sekunnissa). Luonto on
varustanut niiden pään iskuja vaimentavalla elimistöllä
aivovaurioiden välttämiseksi.
• Muihin lintuihin verrattuna tikoilla on vähemmän tilaa
kallon ja aivojen välillä.
• Erityinen huokoinen luusto kallon etuosassa vaimentaa
kuormituksen voimaa.
• Tikan kimmoisa kieliluu, toimii ikään kuin vyönä kiinnittäen
kallon ja vaimentaa kuormitusta lihaksiin.
• Nokan epäsymmetrinen rakenne (yläosa on pidempi)
myöskin vähentää rummutuksen vaikutusta päähän.

MISSÄ tämä voisi olla hyödyllistä? – Katso video.
• So called hyoid bone that
exceeds into tongue acts as a
belt fastening the skull and
redirecting the stress force
into muscles.
• The asymmetric structure of
the beak (the upper part is
longer) further reduces the
impact of drumming on the
head.
