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%).

Антични извори за пророческите способности на Орфей
1. ДОКТОРАНТСКИ И ПОСТДОКТОРАНТСКИ ЧЕТЕНИЯ ‘2012
АНТИЧНИ ПРОРОЧЕСКИТЕ
ИЗВОРИ ЗА СПОСОБНОСТИ НА
ОРФЕЙ
21. Декември 2012 г. Йордан Илиев
2. СЪДЪРЖАНИЕ:
1. Въведение в проблематиката
2. Класификация на изворите
3. Възможности за интерпретация
4. Заключение
5. Образи към текста
3. 1. Въведение в проблематиката
● публикациите на съвременните изследователи върху живота и
делата на Орфей са неизброими;
● предлаганият текст представлява опит за дефиниране на
пророческите способности на Орфей;
● те са само част от многослойния образ на може би най-популярния
тракиец както през античността, така и днес;
● систематизирането им и открояването на техните специфики е
необходимо с оглед на факта, че те, най-малкото поради приписването
им на Орфей, биха могли да бъдат сред сравнително малкото налични
(директни или индиректни?) източници за тракийското пророкуване;
● това е аспект от тракийската религия, недостатъчно проучен от
съвременните учени;
● До момента тракийски извори за Орфей като прорицател не са
идентифицирани, но това не изключа надеждата такива да бъдат
открити в бъдеще.
4. 2. Класификация на изворите
(І) Сведения, в които съпричастността на Орфей към
пророкуването е под въпрос, за сметка на друг легендарен трак –
Музей (Μουσαῖος)
Платон (424/423 – 348/347 г. пр. Хр.) – „Протагор” (316d):
ἐγὼ δὲ τὴν σοφιστικὴν τέχνην Да ти кажа, че софистиката е
φημὶ μὲν εἶναι παλαιάν, τοὺς δὲ древно изкуство и от древни
μεταχειριζομένους αὐτὴν τῶν времена хората, които го
παλαιῶν ἀνδρῶν, φοβουμένους τὸ практикували, страхувайки се да
ἐπαχθὲς αὐτῆς, πρόσχημα не предизвикат отвращение, го
ποιεῖσθαι καὶ προκαλύπτεσθαι, сложили в прилична дреха:
τοὺς μὲν ποίησιν, οἷον Ὅμηρόν τε понякога в поезия, какъвто е
καὶ Ἡσίοδον καὶ Σιμωνίδην, τοὺς случаят на Омир, Хезиод и
δὲ αὖ τελετάς τε καὶ χρησμῳδίας, Симонид; понякога в мистични
τοὺς ἀμφί τε Ὀρφέα καὶ ритуали и предсказания, както
Μουσαῖον· направили Орфей, Музей и
техните последователи.
5. (ІІ) Две схолии към произведения на Еврипид (Alkest. 968; Hec.
1267), които свързват писания на Орфей върху дървени плочки
(ἐν σανίσιν ἀναγραφαί) с прорицалище на Дионис в Тракия
● в някои антични прорицалища предсказанията били записвани;
● може само да се предполага дали тези плочки не трябва да бъдат
тълкувани като подобни записи;
● върху предмети с различно предназначение са известни образи на
говорещата глава на Орфей в присъствието на писар, които лесно
могат да се обяснят със създаване на въпросните дървени плочки;
● най-ранният от тях е изображение върху червенофигурен киликс,
датиран около 430 г. пр. Хр.;
● подобен мотив е забелязан върху 6 етруски бронзови огледала,
поради което се предполага, че етруските възприели темата за
пророкуващата глава на Орфей и я адаптирали към своите
религиозни вярвания;
● Отдавна е предположено, че вероятно пророкуващата глава на
Орфей трябва да бъде разпозната върху няколко антични геми.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10. (ІІІ) Директни твърдения за определянето на Орфей като
прорицател (μάντις)
Схолия към „Аргонавтика” (2.164) на Аполоний Родоски (ІІІ в. пр. Хр.):
τὸν Ὀρφέα φασὶ καὶ μάντιν εἶναι. За Орфей разправят, че бил и
прорицател.
Плиний Стари (23 – 79 г.) в „Естествена история” (7.203):
Auguria ex avibus Car, a quo Caria Изкуството на гадаене по птици
appellata; adiecit ex ceteris дължим на Кар, от който Кария
animalibus Orpheus ... получила името си; Орфей го
приложил към други животни ...
11. (ІV) Разкази за пророкуващата глава на Орфей
Флавий Филострат (ок. 170 – 244/249 г.)
„Животът на Аполоний от Тиана” (4.14):
Παρῆλθε καὶ ἐς τὸ τοῦ Ὀρφέως Преминавайки през Лесбос той
ἄδυτον προσορμισάμενος τῇ посетил адютона на Орфей.
Λέσβῳ. φασὶ δὲ ἐνταῦθά ποτε τὸν Разправят, че тук някога Орфей се
Ὀρφέα μαντικῇ χαίρειν, ἒστε τὸν радвал да пророкува, преди
Ἀπόλλω ἐπιμεμελῆσθαι αὐτόν. Аполон да се намеси. Когато
ἐπειδὴ γὰρ μήτε ἐς Γρύνειον последният разбрал, че хората не
ἐφοίτων ἔτι ὑπὲρ χρησμῶν се тълпят за предсказания пред
ἄνθρωποι μήτε ἐς Κλάρον μήτʹ Грюнеион, нито пред Кларос,
ἔνθα ὁ τρίπους ὁ Ἀπολλώνειος, нито *в Делфи,] където е
Ὀρφεὺς δὲ ἔχρα μόνος ἄρτι ἐκ триподът на Аполон, а Орфей е
Θρᾴκης ἡ κεφαλὴ ἥκουσα, единственият оракул, чрез
ἐφίσταταί οἱ χρησμῳδοῦντι ὁ θεὸς пристигналата му от Тракия
καὶ πέπαυσο ἔφη τῶν ἐμῶν, καὶ глава, появил се пред даващия
γὰρ δὴ (καὶ) ᾄδοντά σε ἱκανῶς оракули и казал: „Преставаш да
ἤνεγκα. заемаш мястото ми, позволих
достатъчно дълго да говориш!”.
13. 4. Заключение
● още в най-древни времена сред траките имало лица, занимавали се –
наред с други, разнообразни по своя характер, неща – и с пророческа
дейност;
● много са легендарните сведения за Орфей, но в малко от тях той е
определен като прорицател, във всички случаи без да е представена в
подробности пророческата му дарба;
● изглежда невъзможно да се определи в детайли как точно е
предсказвал Орфей и дали е бил вдъхновен от някой бог, поради
комплексния характер на представата за него;
● може да се мисли, че фигурата на Орфей според представите на
античните автори била свързана както с естествено, така и с
техническо (научено) пророкуване;
● представената информация съвсем не изчерпва всички налични
данни за пророкуването при траките, но доказва острата
необходимост от бъдещи проучвания по проблематиката.
