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. Washington, hlavné mesto Spojených štátov
amerických, viaže so Slovákmi a Slovenskou
republikou veľa pút. Mnohé z nich sa dajú
vysto p ovať na najrôznejších pamätníko ch,
budovách, ale i celkom bežných miestach.
Vo veľkomeste na brehu rieky Potomac sa písali
kľúčové kapitoly našich dejín. Mnohí Slováci, ktorí
sem v rôznych obdobiach prišli žiť, študovať, či
pracovať, prispeli k rozvoju Washingtonu i Ameriky.
Táto fotografická publikácia z cyklu Slovenské
stopy sa snaží zachytiť časť bohatstva týchto vzťahov
a je malou pozvánkou na ich objavovanie.
Washington – vlajky pred veľvyslanectvom Slovenskej republiky,
ktorá vznikla v januári 1993 a v roku 2004 sa stala členom Európskej
únie. Doteraz slúžili ako slovenskí veľvyslanci v USA Branislav
Lichardus, Martin Bútora, Rastislav Káčer a Peter Burian.
3. Kongresová knižnica. Nachádzajú sa v nej mnohé vzácne
dokumenty dôležité pre Slovákov. Je medzi nimi i korešpondencia
grófa Mórica Beňovského s Kongresom USA. M. Beňovský, narodený
v roku 1746 vo Vrbovom, osobne rokoval s budúcim prezidentom
USA Georgeom Washingtonom.
Národná galéria portrétov, bývalý Patentový úrad USA. V rokoch
1904–1911 tu registrovali patenty prvej bezdrôtovej telekomunikácie
Jozefovi Murgašovi z Wilkes Barre, Pensylvánia (narodil sa v roku
1864 v Tajove) a v roku 1914 patent prvého aktívne využívaného
padáka Štefanovi Baničovi z Greenville, Pensylvánia (narodil sa
v roku 1870 v Neštichu - Smoleniciach).
V Národnej galérii portrétov sa v oddelení portrétov 20. storočia
nachádza na čestnom mieste obraz Marilyn Monroe od Andyho
Warhola, ktorého rodičia pochádzajú zo slovenskej obce Miková.
4. M. R. Štefánik rokoval v bývalom sídle ministerstiev zahraničia,
obrany a námorníctva USA o vytvorení československých légií. Dnes
táto budova, Eisenhower Executive Office Building, patrí do areálu
Bieleho domu.
Hrob významného diplomata Štefana Osuského narodeného
v roku 1889 v Brezovej pod Bradlom, ktorý sa podieľal na vzniku
Československa. Hrob sa nachádza na Oak Hill Cemetery
v Georgetowne (vpravo pri vchode do cintorína).
Milan Rastislav Štefánik narodený v roku 1880 v Košariskách.
V USA sa spolu s Tomášom G. Masarykom rozhodujúcou mierou
zaslúžil o vznik Československa v roku 1918. Tento portrét generála
Štefánika sa nachádza vo vstupnej hale veľvyslanectva SR v USA.
5. Bývalá budova veľvyslanectva Francúzskej republiky v USA
(adresa: 2460 16th Street), ktoré sa podieľalo na zabezpečovaní
programu pre M. R. Štefánika počas jeho dvoch pobytov
vo Washingtone v apríli 1917 (vtedy bol majorom francúzskej
armády) a v auguste až septembri 1918 (už ako generál).
Socha prvého prezidenta Československa T. G. Masaryka, narodil
sa v roku 1850 v moravskom Hodoníne, ktorého otec bol Slovák.
Nachádza sa na Massachusetts Avenue, neďaleko Dupont Circle
a domu, kde žil a zomrel prezident Woodrow Wilson, s ktorým
Masaryk opakovane rokoval o vytvorení Československa.
6. Prezident Wilson. Portrét sa nachádza vo Woodrow Wilson
International Center for Scholars.
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, významné
výskumné pracovisko, je zároveň pamätníkom venovaným tomuto
štátnikovi. V auditóriu na šiestom poschodí sa nachádza od roku
1999 busta Alexandra Dubčeka od Teodora Baníka (verejnosti
neprístupné).
Bývalá budova veľvyslanectva Československej republiky
v USA (adresa: 2349 Massachusetts Avenue), v ktorej pôsobil od roku
1936 Vladimir S. Hurban (syn Svetozára Hurbana Vajanského)
na poste československého vyslanca, od roku 1943 už vo funkcii
veľvyslanca. V lete 1946 ho vystriedal ďalší Slovák Juraj Slávik
Neresnický, ktorý zotrval v úrade do marca 1948, kedy rezignoval
na protest proti komunistickému prevratu v ČSR a zostal žiť v exile.
7. Svetoznámy pamätník venovaný vojakom námornej pechoty,
Iwo Jima Memorial, sa nachádza neďaleko Arlingtonského cintorína.
Šestici vojakov, ktorí vztýčili v roku 1945 vlajku na Mt. Suribachi
na japonskom ostrove Iwo Jima, velil Michael Strank, narodený
v roku 1919 v Jarabine na východnom Slovensku. Clint Eastwood
natočil o týchto vojakoch v roku 2006 vojnový film Flags of Our
Fathers.
Hrob Michaela Stranka z Pennsylvánie, ktorý padol v boji
na ostrove Iwo Jima 1. marca 1945. Neskôr bol pochovaný
na Arlingtonskom národnom cintoríne. Doklady o americkom
občianstve mu udelili posmrtne až v roku 2008.
Národná Bazilika nepoškvrneného počatia Panny Márie je
najväčším katolíckym chrámom v Severnej Amerike. Bola postavená
v rokoch 1920-1961 a od septembra 1965 sa v nej nachádza kaplnka
venovaná Sedembolestnej Panne Márii, patrónke Slovenska.
Dominantou kaplnky je pieta v životnej veľkosti z mramoru Trani
od Ernesta Morenona. Kaplnku venovala ako dar Prvá katolícka
slovenská únia Spojených štátov a Kanady (Jednota).
8. Návštevníci Národného múzea letectva a kozmonautiky sa môžu
oboznámiť aj s vesmírnymi misiami Gemini 9, Apollo 10 a Apollo 17.
Starý otec slávneho astronauta Eugena Cernana, ktorý sa zúčastnil
na spomínaných troch misiách, bol slovenský imigrant do USA.
Apolo 17 prinieslo z Mesiaca rekordný objem hornín a zeminy –
110,5 kg. Návštevníci múzea letectva a kozmonautiky sa môžu
dotknúť kúska mesačnej skaly. Cernan, veliteľ Apolla 17, je doposiaľ
posledným človekom ktorý kráčal po povrchu Mesiaca. Bolo to
14. decembra 1972.
Národné múzeum holokaustu slávnostne otvorili v apríli roku
1993 za účasti viacerých hláv štátov, vrátane slovenského prezidenta
Michala Kováča, pre ktorého to bola historicky prvá návšteva USA.
Počas nej ho prijal v Bielom dome prezident Bill Clinton.
V múzeu sa nachádzajú i exponáty venované utrpeniu a heroizmu
slovenských Židov, vrátane Nováckej skupiny. Tá získala za chrabrosť
počas druhej svetovej vojny prestížne vyznamenanie múzea „Medal of
Resistance“.
9. Biely dom, sídlo amerického prezidenta, v ktorom boli po Nežnej
revolúcii prijaté viaceré slovenské osobnosti, vrátane všetkých troch
prezidentov – Michala Kováča, Rudolfa Schustera a Ivana
Gašparoviča, ako aj premiéra Mikuláša Dzurindu.
Americký Kongres. K slovenským koreňom sa hlásia kongresmani
John Mica a Peter Visclosky. V minulosti v Kongrese pôsobili i ďalší
kongresmani slovenského pôvodu, ako napríklad Joe Sestak a Bart
Stupak. Známy senátor a celoživotný priateľ Slovákov Claiborne Pell
(zomrel v roku 2009) otvoril v roku 1948 v Bratislave americký
generálny konzulát.
10. Budova historickej hlavnej železničnej stanice vo Washingtone,
Union Station, bola zreštaurovaná a otvorená v roku 1988.
Na náročnej vnútornej výzdobe stropov a stien Union Station
sa počas dvoch rokov podieľali dvaja mladí slovenskí umelci –
súrodenci Zuzana Rudavská a Ondrej Rudavský.
Aréna Verizon Center je domovom hokejového klubu Washington
Capitals, za ktorý hralo viacero slovenských hráčov, napríklad Richard
Zedník, Milan Jurčina, Ivan Majeský, Andrej Podkonický. V rokoch
1990–2004 tu pôsobil kanonier Peter Bondra. Zaradil sa medzi
najúspešnejších hráčov klubu a celej NHL.
Hokejový dres šampióna a strelca 500 gólov v NHL, dar Petra
Bondru, je vzácnym artefaktom zdobiacim slovenskú ambasádu
vo Washingtone.
11. Mo dernú budovu veľvyslanectva Slovenskej republiky
vo Washingtone projektoval autorský tím slovenských architektov –
M. Bogár, D. Fischer, L. Králik, P. Lizoň, L. Urban. Slávnostne bola
otvorená v roku 2001 a slúži aj ako výstavný priestor, najmä
pre súčasné výtvarné umenie.
Na stene slávy Friends of Slovakia Wall of Honor, ktorá stojí
v záhrade slovenského veľvyslanectva, sa nachádzajú početné
bronzové plakety darcov, ktorí prispeli k budovaniu slovensko–
amerických vzťahov. Zakladajúcim predsedom Friends of Slovakia je
prvý veľvyslanec USA na Slovensku Theodore Russell.
