Pinturinhas: design de ludicidade para reduzir o imediatismo nas crianças

Abstract

Over time, due to the increasing demand for quick and efficient solutions, immediacy has become a defining characteristic of contemporary society, impacting various areas, including design. This phenomenon is intrinsically linked to the culture of convenience, where the speed of product and service delivery is highly valued. However, it has been realized that this rush often results in superficial and short-lived solutions. This project seeks to explore the threats posed by immediacy to the younger generation, highlighting how the constant search for instant gratification can negatively affect children's cognitive and emotional development. Studies have shown that continuous exposure to fast and fleeting stimuli can lead to decreased attention span, increased anxiety, and difficulty dealing with frustrations. To address these challenges, this work proposes the development of a design project that goes beyond superficiality and offers deeper and more meaningful experiences. It is expected that through this initiative, tools will be provided to children that help them develop greater concentration, resilience, and critical thinking skills. In doing so, the project aims not only to improve the quality of digital interactions but also to contribute to the formation of a more balanced generation, better equipped for the challenges of the future.
