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.

5 Public speaking tips from TED - Visualized summarySpeakerHub
From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas. They have over 2,400 filmed talks (not including the 30,000+ TEDx videos) freely available online, and have hosted over 17,500 events around the world.
With over one billion views in a year, it’s no wonder that so many speakers are looking to TED for ideas on how to share their message more effectively.
The article “5 Public-Speaking Tips TED Gives Its Speakers”, by Carmine Gallo for Forbes, gives speakers five practical ways to connect with their audience, and effectively share their ideas on stage.

ChatGPT and the Future of Work - Clark Boyd Clark Boyd
Everyone is in agreement that ChatGPT (and other generative AI tools) will shape the future of work. Yet there is little consensus on exactly how, when, and to what extent this technology will change our world.

For individuals, now is the time to pinpoint the skills the future professional will need to thrive in the AI age.
Check out this presentation to understand what ChatGPT is, how it will shape the future of work, and how you can prepare to take advantage.
The document provides career advice for getting into the tech field, including:
- Doing projects and internships in college to build a portfolio.
- Learning about different roles and technologies through industry research.
- Contributing to open source projects to build experience and network.
- Developing a personal brand through a website and social media presence.
- Networking through events, communities, and finding a mentor.
- Practicing interviews through mock interviews and whiteboarding coding questions.
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.
A brief introduction to DataScience with explaining of the concepts, algorithms, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, statistics, data preprocessing, real-world applications etc.
It's part of a Data Science Corner Campaign where I will be discussing the fundamentals of DataScience, AIML, Statistics etc.

Mengapa Senopati? Karena Senopati adalah istilah untuk menyebut
seorang Panglima, khususnya dalam sejarah kerajaan-kerajaan Nusantara,
zaman Siwa-Budha maupun setelah Islam masuk. Berasal dari Bahasa

Dan manusia adalah gudangnya
hasrat.
Lain kata Sigmund Freud,
maupun Sokrates, dalam menyoal
hasrat. Freud melihat hasrat
berhubungan dengan “kepenuhan”.

sebagai daya pendorong bagi
tindakan manusia, dalam mencari
pemenuhan.
Sebaliknya dengan Sokrates.
“Hasrat individu,” kata Sokrates

Mengapa kita bicara hasrat?

pemenuhan-pemenuhan hasrat di
sekitar kita, tapi tanpa kita sadari hal
itu merupakan ancaman. Manusia

internet, menyiapkan semua cara
pemenuhannya.
Pemenuhan hasrat memerlukan
kecerdasan. Jika tidak, ia akan
menjadi bumerang berupa ancaman

uatu hari di belantara Aceh, pada

orang dari gerakan separatis dengan
AK-47 bertengger di pundak, popornya
menyilang di pinggang. Laras senapan

AK-47 memang mematikan. Namun
tiga sniper itu juga membawa senjata
yang tak kalah mematikan dibanding
aneka bedil berbunyi nyaring. Senjata
itu senyap, mampu meluncur dan
merobohkan lawan, tanpa berisik.

Takmenunggulama,senjataandalan

orang yang menyandang AK-47 itu pun

pucuk senjata AK-47 musuh, telah
berpindah tangan. Pemiliknya roboh

asih teringat jelas, gaya
Om Bill di atas panggung
Merah Putih di Serpong,
pada 17 Agustus 1995. Ia lincah dan
permainan musiknya menawan,
seperti biasa. Celetukan khas
berlogat Batak, dan humor segarnya,
selalu menjadi jeda yang ditunggu
penonton, tiap pergantian tampilan
nomor-nomorjazz.
Tapi dari ekspresinya malam
itu, terlihat Om Bill sangat
menghayati lagu-lagu perjuangan
yang dibawakannya dalam nomor
fusion jazz. Sempat terbetik tanya,
”Mengapa seorang Bill Saragih yang
lamamukimdiManiladanAustralia,
membawakan musik yang bukan
asli Indonesia, beristri perempuan
Inggris, anak-anaknya sekolah dan
menetapdi‘benuaKanguru’,kokbisa
secintainipadaIndonesia?”
Pegiat Jazz, Pecinta Indonesia
Saban tampil di panggung jazz
di belahan dunia mana pun, Om Bill,
musisi kelahiran 1 Juni 1933, selalu
enerjik. Sejak ia merantau ke Medan,
pada1949,iaterusmemainkanjazz.
Jazz juga yang telah membawa
Bill Saragih keliling dunia: Thailand-
Laos-Kamboja-Australia-Amerika.
Performanya selalu memikat:
suara serak baritonnya dengan scat
singing khasnya, kemampuan multi-
instrumentalisnya (flute-piano-dan
perkusi), dan komunikatif kepada
audiensnya.
Soal suara, gara-gara membawakan
What A Wonderful World, publik
Indonesia menjulukinya ‘Louis
Armstrong’-nya Indonesia. Padahal,
Om Bill jauh lebih hebat. Ia adalah
musisi jazz lengkap: muda keliling
dunia- tua masih berkarya- wafatnya
dimakamkandiTMPKalibata.
Sebentar, TMP Kalibata? Bukankah
harus punya bintang gerilya, agar bisa
bersemayam di Kalibata? Ya, Om Bill
memangpemilikbintanggerilya.Lebih
dariitu,iaadalahanakraja.
Anak Raja Pemegang Bintang
Gerilya
Dalam hampir semua situs yang
memuat biografinya, orang tua Bill
Amirsjah Saragih hanya ditulis: Jan

setelah stroke 7 tahun mengalahkan
Om Bill pada 2007, lalu ia ‘pindah
rumah’ ke TMP Kalibata, barulah

Pada 1946, saat Om Bill masih
berusia 14 tahun, ayahnya (Tuan

dibantai Barisan Harimau Liar
(BHL). Komandan BHL adalah
Saragih Ras, yang mendapat
mandat dari Belanda untuk
melakukan gerakan membasmi
