The word proximity realizes the closeness both in space and time of something or someone, although we must say that it is normally used in relation to the proximity to a place or physical space.
That which is close in space or time
Therefore, it is a term that is mostly used to refer to how close a place is to something or someone, or to a specific and significant date for an individual and that affects them emotionally. "You will find our house once you are near the new shopping center. The proximity of my wedding date really has me on edge.”
This sense is often used to account for the geographical location of places.
"My house is in the proximity of the new central train station."
It is also a concept that is closely linked to geographic distances and proximity.
The convenience of proximity
People prefer to be close, in proximity, to those places that we must go to on a daily basis, whether to work, to study, and this is the reason why we decide to move or live close to places of work and study, to avoid long transfers.
Otherwise, we must allocate a large portion of our valuable time in moving, either by private or public transport, an issue that often involves a complication in several ways, since public transport is not so comfortable or fast, and also traffic in big cities has become a huge obstacle to getting to the place on time and the consequence can be disastrous: losing the presentism or accumulating late arrivals.
Meanwhile, the concept of proximity is closely linked to others such as: neighborhood, proximity, border, contiguity, boundary, contact, which can be used as synonyms for the term and vice versa; meanwhile, he is directly opposed to the concept of remoteness, which raises the absolute opposite, how far something or someone is from another in relation to him.
Share likes and preferences with others
On the other hand, the word is used a lot to refer to the correspondence of preferences, tastes, between two or more people, and that by case leads them to share these together, opening a special bond in which they especially share those issues they like.
Human beings tend to relate to those people with whom we share hobbies, tastes, and this occurs naturally, because precisely those things that we like and do unfailingly bring us closer to people who share the same preferences.
The other side of this circumstance is the incompatibility of characters or tastes that as a consequence will make these people who do not share anything tend not to get together, indeed, they tend to move away when they discover that they share nothing.
It is a beautiful feeling to feel accompanied by someone in something that we like to do, not only for the fact of feeling their support, their presence, but also for the fact of being able to share the activity that we like.
Proximity effect: reinforcing sounds
For his part, proximity effect or also known as pop effect, consists of a type of effect that tries to reinforce bass sounds; It occurs when the sound is captured when the pressure gradient microphone is used with a nearby sound source.
And a proximity sensor It is a type of transducer (device that is responsible for receiving the power of a system, whether mechanical, acoustic or electromagnetic) whose activity is the detection of objects or signals that pass near the sensor.
