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%).

2. Tancul este un vehicul blindat de atac cu tracțiune
pe șenile, conceput pentru a combate forțe inamice folosind
focul direct. Un tanc de luptă se caracterizează prin armele
și blindajul greu, o mare mobilitate care îi permite să
traverseze terenuri dificile la viteze relativ mari.
3. Condițiile de luptă pe frontul occidental au împins armata
britanică să înceapă studiul unui vehicul autopropulsat care să poată
traversa tranșeele și barajele de sârmă ghimpată și să nu fie
afectat de focul de mitralieră. După ce a văzut automobilele Rolls
Royce blindate utilizate de către Royal Naval Air Service în 1914, și
cunoscând schemele pentru a crea un vehicul blindat de luptă cu
tracțiune pe șenile, Primul Lord Winston Churchill a condus un
comitet, Landships Committee, pentru a coordona crearea acestei noi
arme .
Cuvântul „tanc” a fost utilizat pentru a da senzația că
muncitorii din fabricile britanice construiesc rezervoare de apă
mobile pentru armata britanică din Mesopotamia - dar în realitate
fabricau un vehicul de luptă secret - și așa a fost considerat oficial
până pe 24 decembrie 1915.
4. Britanicul Mark I a fost primul tanc de luptă, apare în Primul
Război Mondial, s-a nascut din nevoia de rupe domina ția
mitralierelor și tran șeelor pe câmpurile de luptă. Împreună cu
variantele posterioare este tipul de tanc cel mai reu șit din primul
razboi mondial.
Mark I era un vehicul romboidal cu un centru de greutate jos
și foarte lung, care putea înainta pe un teren noroios și să
traverseze tran șee. Avea două mitraliere deta șabile și două pu ști
pentru fa ță și spate.
În interior echipa împăr țea spa țiul disponibil cu motorul care
emana monoxid de carbon, vapori de combustibil și de ulei, camera
avea o ventila ție insuficientă. Temperatura în interior putea atinge
50 ° C. Au existat cazuri cand toata echipa a pierdut con știin ța sau
aveau crize violente cand respiru din nou aer curat.
5. TR-580 este o variantă a tancului sovietic T-55, proiectată și fabricată
în România prin mijloace proprii. Aproximativ 400 de tancuri au fost construite
pentru Armata Română, iar dintre acestea 150 au fost exportate. Tancul TR-
580 a fost fabricat între anii 1979 și 1985, fiind predecesorul modelului TR-800.
TR-580 a fost primul tanc fabricat în România. Neavând experien ță în domeniu,
specialiștii români au vizitat o fabrică de tancuri din China pentru a studia
procesul de fabricație. Cea mai mare problemă întâmpinată a fost calitatea
turelelor. Primele piese plesneau după turnare din cauza porilor. Turelele erau
inițial verificate la ultrason, zona poroasă era bătută manual cu dalta și apoi
fisurile se umpleau cu sudură.
6. RENAULT FT-17 a fost
primul tanc cu armamentul
poziționat într-o turelă
complet rotativă, iar
configurația sa cu turela
deasupra, motorul în spate
și șoferul în față a devenit
una convențională, preluată
de alte tancuri până în
prezent. La acea perioadă a
reprezentat o inovație
revoluționară, făcându-l pe
istoricul specializat în
vehicule blindate Steven
Zaloga să descrie acest
tanc drept primul tanc
modern al lumii.
7. T-26 a fost un tanc ușor sovietic folosit în numeroase
războaie interbelice și în timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial. A
fost proiectat ca tanc de sprijin pentru infanterie, fiind o variantă
a carului de luptă britanic Vickers de 6 tone. T-26 este considerat
a fi unul dintre cele mai de succes modele de tancuri ale anilor
1930, fiind construit în peste 11.000 de exemplare.
8. T-34 a fost un tanc mediu fabricat în Uniunea Sovietică
din 1940 până în 1958. Prima dată a fost produs la uzina KhPZ din
Harkov, R. S. S. Ucraineană. A fost principalul tanc de luptă al
Armatei Roșii în timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial. A rămas
în istorie ca fiind al doilea tanc ca produc ție din istorie, după
succesorul său din seria T-54/55.
9.
10. T-54 și T-55 au reprezentat o
serie de tancuri principale de
luptă proiectate în Uniunea
Sovietică. Prototipul tancului T-
54 a apărut în luna martie a
anului 1945, chiar înainte de
sfârșitul celui de-al Doilea
Război Mondial. Seria de
tancuri T-54/55 reprezintă cel
mai numeros tanc din istorie.
Numărul total de vehicule
construite variază între 86.000
și 100.000 de tancuri.
Tancurile T-54/55 au fost
înlocuite de către T-62, T-72, T-
64 și T-80 în cadrul armatei
sovietice, însă ele sunt folosite
în prezent de aproape 50 de
țări, fiind modernizate cu
echipamente sofisticate.
11.
12. Unele tancuri u șoare cum ar fi PT-76 sunt amfibii,
propulsate în apă de șenilele lor sau cu ajutorul unui
hidrojet.
În al doilea război mondial, tancul M4 Sherman a fost
transformat în vehicul amfibiu adăugându-i un colac de
cauciuc care îl ajuta să plutească. A fost numit Sherman DD
și folosit pentru a sus ține debarcarea pe plaje. Sherman DD
nu puteau să tragă în timp ce pluteau deoarece cauciucul
umflat depă șea înăl țimea tunului. Un mare număr din aceste
tancuri s-au scufundat datorită vremii rele, totu și cele care
au ajuns pe plajă au fost extrem de utile în primele
momente ale debarcării.
13. Tancul TR-85 (Tanc Românesc Model 1985)
este un tanc principal de luptă proiectat în
România, bazat pe șasiul tancului TR-77-580
(succesorul românesc al lui T-55). Varianta
modernizată a acestui tanc, TR-85M1 "Bizonul",
este compatibilă cu standardele NATO.
14. Leopard 2 este un tanc principal de luptă dezvoltat de Krauss-
Maffei la începutul anilor 1970 pentru Bundeswehr. Tancul a intrat
în dotarea armatei germane în anul 1979, înlocuind modelul Leopard
1 în cadrul armatei germane. Mai multe versiuni au fost folosite de
Germania și alte 12 țări europene, precum și unele țări din afara
continentului. Peste 3480 de tancuri au fost fabricate. Leopard 2 a
fost utilizat în Războiul din Kosovo de Germania și în Războiul din
Afghanistan de către Canada și Danemarca, membre ale
International Security Assistance Force.
15. T-90 este un tanc principal de luptă din
genera ția a treia, fabricat la uzinele
Uralvagonzavod din Nijni Taghil, Rusia. T-90
este o variantă modernizată a tancului T-72
(ini țial, proiectul a fost denumit T-72BU, însă a
fost redenumit mai târziu T-90). Este cel mai
modern tanc aflat în dotarea For țelor Terestre
și Infanteriei Marine ruse ști.
16. Merkava este un tanc mediu în dotarea
armatei israeliene. Dezvoltarea
tancului a început în 1973 intrând în
serviciu prin 1978. Au fost dezvoltate
patru variante de bază. Merkava a
primit botezul focului în Războiul din
Liban din 1982.
17. Există multe speculații despre
viitoarea evoluție a tancurilor. O
maximă militară spune că nu se
poate ataca cea ce nu se poate
identifica. Specialiștii înclină spre
un tanc invizibil pe radar,
adoptând tehnologia creată în
principiu pentru avioane
De asemenea se studiază noi
sisteme de propulsie pentru
blindate. Dacă structura tancurilor
se va schimba prin trecere la
motoare electrice, ca acelea
utilizate de mașinile grele pentru
construcții, și la folosirea tunurilor
tip „railgun”, care folosesc energia
electrică pentru a accelera
proiectilul. În prezent se folosesc
turbina cu gaze sau motorul diesel,
dar este posibil ca, în viitor, și
alte tipuri de motoare
experimentale să dea rezultate
bune.
