Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night. Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

It depends on the point of view actually. Watch some youtube vidoe resently where some tribe live on the island and attempt to kill everyone who tries to contact them. They don't have any modern tech and there level of life not high for sure. Are they a problem for modern world? I don't think so.
I think it's a real problem, but it isn't the most important issue of the modern world. We try to make the world better, but we also need to know that our solutions wouldn't always be suitable for everyone. That's why I find this video valuable, it kind of opened my eyes to the issues I didn't previously think of.
I don't think it only applies to African people - it applies to most of us. We live in the society where people are afraid to admit of their imperfections or problems. There are so many people out there who are completely deprived of compassion, that we are too afraid to be ourselves.
It is the real problem of modern world that we try to create solutions that will cover the needs of the biggest target possible, but then a few people that need inventions to be tailored for their special needs are left alone.
People can be ashamed that they are not as healthy as they wish to be and that hinders them from admitting that they need help.
2. I would not say it is the biggest problem of modern world, but still it is significant. Companies nowadays follow “one fits all” rule and often don’t take into account different needs of their client groups.
3. People generally don’t want to admit their illnesses as they are afraid of social marginalization because of their frailties
I think that is normal thing. When we want to make a solutions for special place we have to know how people in this part of the world are living. People working in projects of aps or other systems are always doing some research on what conditions it will work. This solutions are good but adequate to the conditions. It's nothing brilliant.
In my opinion people from Africa wouldn't admit theirs illnesses because theh are following in the pursuit of modernity. They don't want to be worse than others.
I believe yes. In the majority of cases, developers or IT specialist is not really understood needs of their customers and customers not really possible to describe what they need. As result a lot of great efforts resulting in nothing. So as for me understanding the context of problems and deep diving into the area and root causes of this problems before the beginning of developing/engineering work, seams like a very important topic.
I believe that people from Africa don’t admit their illnesses because they I friend to look not as healthy as they want. Or because they are frightened to be ashamed by the society.
Yes I think marginalization is the problem here , especially in underdeveloped countries where people just have to work to survive.
I think they do not want to admit theirs weaknesses because they are afraid of the community, they don't want to be excluded from it.
Why would u as such question its right in the video because of the most stupid thing in the world created by communities - a stigma attached to it. Why young kids dont want to wear braces ? Why they are getting bullied for wearing glasses? its all because others who dont need such help to live think are better and entitled themselves to rub it in their faces.
I think it's a great example of user experience design. When pepole really understand the root the root of the problem, and design with thet in mind.
Do you think that is the real problem of modern world?
I think that people from developed countries, need not just to blindly help Africa, and provide something that people really need, and not what we think thay need.
Why people from Africa mentioned in the video wouldn't admit theirs illnesses ?
Because from our perspective it is a problem, but no one asked is that a problem for people with illness.
