Phonekerchief to make you digitally inaccessible by Zuzana Zelenakova
Technology is the way we live now. It is basically the air we breathe these days, to say it more poetically. Just take cellphone for example, probably the most commonly used technological item, the tiny little thing accompanies you everywhere, during the day i tis in your pocket, during the night i tis on your bedside table. Irritating to always check if you have it on you, isn´t it? But what can you do about it? It has become a necessity, your connection to the world. Ingrid Zweifel, senior at Parsons The New School for Design, observed this aspect of today´s society, that is how technology changed the way people interact and came up with a pretty interesting an! d funny idea. The whole thing began due to her thesis project. And then there was a random encounter with a woman who just couldn´t stop talking about the blind date she has just had. "She said to me, 'He left his phone at home for me. I was, like, oh, my God, that is beautiful,'" says Zweifel. And so the key concept of her thesis was born. Zweifel began with the phrase “I left my phone at home for you” stamped on buttons. However, the final product is a kerchief with the inscription “My phone is off for you.” When you wrap your phone in this kerchief you become inaccessible, it blocks call service. So if you really want to interact with other people you can do so without disturbing sound of the cellphone ringing. The thing is with technology boom the human interaction has been diminished. "What I'm seeing is a generation that says consistently, 'I would rather text than make a telephone call.' Why? It's less risky. I can just get the informatio! n out there. I don't have to get all involved; it's more effic! ient," s aid Dr. Sherry Turkle, a psychologist, professor and director of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self.

In business you really have to focus on human behavior, if you know what is disturbing, or on the contrary attractive to people you will know how to success. One of these social features is a relationship between parents and children – at least their behavior in several situations. Generally, if a child sees something attractive, he/she starts to demand it and although parent doesn't allow or want to give it to the child, many times child really gets it in the end. How come? Children beg, children scream, children demand and cry. And for a parent these are the most exhausting moments, I mean try to calm down the child in the shop...We could write a book about parental! nervous break downs, but we don't have such capacities...fortunatelly. But marketing divisions are reacting to this behavior and for past decade incredible amount of advertisments and products have been focused on children. If you can get a child customer, you will probably get his parents. Now try to review how many products have been designed for children customers, just go to the next McDonalds and check Happy Meal – there will be always some nice toy included to the meal. An interesting news came from San Francisco, California where the city Board of Supervisors have voted against such toys in fast foods. The reason was right targeted – toys are increasing attractivity of unhealthy food. The rule will apply for meals that have more than 640 milligrams of sodium, 600 calories or more than 34 percent of fat included in nutrition. In European conditions it would be regarded as very healthy and proper step, but it may be perceived differently. For many busines! smen it is a step against their own „freedom“, but! on the other side it is people right to create laws on their own. Personally I am very curious about how it is going to be, because so far San Francicsco Mayor has anticipated this step. But the board voted 8-3 and still has a great power to ignore Mayor's veto, if necessary.

Mobilni telefoni: Opasni ili ne? by Barbora Misakova
Otkako ja izgubiv mojata sakana "Motorola", povekje ne sum zainteresirana vo mobilnite telefoni kako porano. Si kažav sebe si deka beše mnogu mnogu glupo od moja strana što investirav pari vo parče metal i plastika koe posle sé beše mnogu lesno ukradeno. Ottogaš koristan mnogu mal i evtin mobilen, koj sekogaš go zaboravam na različno mesto bez da go sfatam toa. I da bidam isrkren, za prv pat ne se sekiram kade e mojot telefon!I za prv pat vo mojata mobilna istorija, da ne go nosam sekade kade što kje odam. Taka se čini deka toa e podobro od dobro. Postojat mnogu predupreduvanja protiv nosenjeto mobilni i smartfouni vo d! zebovi blizu do teloto. Povekjeto od upatstvata za bezbednost na mobilnite telefoni, im kažuvaat na korisnicite sekogaš da go držat aparatot podaleku od teloto. Skeptici za bezbednosta na mobilnite telfoni duri i se stresoa po ovie predupreduvanja. Sppored niv, mobilnite možat da gi izložat lugjet na mnogu pogolema radijacija od voobičaenite merki. Kolku povkeje distancata e namalena, poostra e radiofrekvencijata što doagja od niv. "Iložuvanjeto definitivno e povrzano so distancata" - reče Robert Klivlend Dzunior, poranešen lider na FCC. Dali se prašuvate dali treba da bidete zagriženi dali da go stavite telefonot vo vašiot dzeb? Odgovorot najmnogu zavisi od toa kolku verba imate za aktuelnata sostojba na naučnoto istražuvanje za radiofrekventata energija.
