This week I did more research on anxiety and social media. Social media didn’t invent FOMO, so I wanted to know how previous generations understood FOMO and what made them feel anxious when they were 18-20 years old. I conducted interviews with my parents and grandparents, trying to find some cultural connection at that age.…

My question is “How can 18 to 20-year-old Chinese Gen Z who identify as having anxiety of FOMO (fear of missing out) effectively manage it in the age of social media and rapidly changing trends?”  In order to better understand this question, the first thing need to know is why Gen Z feels anxious. The rationale…

Introduction The digital age is blurring the boundaries between the internet and reality, and 3D technologies are already being used on a large scale in industries such as architecture and healthcare, resulting in disruptive innovations. Although attempts to integrate technology into the clothing industry have only been underway for about ten years, they are already…

Today is an age of information explosion. Being in a social media environment that pursues short and fast, the chance for people to talk to each other has become easy, but having real communication has become more and more difficult. Leaving messages, expressing feelings, and communicating sincerely, have somehow and invisibly, become a battle of…

However, the atmosphere in our group was great, everyone was very supportive and friendly, and this really helped me a lot. Although there was no obvious role for everyone, everyone was willing…

This week the group was supposed to build a speculative scenario of the future world of work, but I feel like our process stalled slightly after the interview. During the tutorial, we were asked for more sources to lead to our expectations of the future, like theories about the government holding the resources and nationalisation…

The third week is about detailing the future scenarios and problem definition. In translating last week’s Chinese interview I summarised some of the problems stated by Chinese delivery drivers: 1. Because car accidents happen a lot caused by delivery workers rushing to deliver food, their transport space, and vehicle could be improved to ensure safety …

During the Monday tutorial, our group was pretty clear that we were going to follow the concept from “The Carrier Bag Theory”, and focus on delivery drivers. People cannot survive without food. They do the most important work, but they are not given enough attention, they have almost zero contracts, and there are almost no…

The first week was about coordinating and context, and as a start to thinking about future work, I began by looking back at my past work experience. Almost all of my jobs have been internships or part-time, and it is clear that these jobs not only pay very little but also have very long working…
