Add Human: Human Factors & Ergonomics for All of Us (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798496622639)

WELCOME TO
ADD HUMAN
human factors and ergonomics for all of us

Humans use tools. When we succeed with a new device, we are encouraged and feel empowered. When we make errors with a tool or technology or give up or get hurt because we cannot figure it out, we blame ourselves. We feel stupid and defeated. Current human factors and ergonomics research and practice in engineering and design explores, describes and seeks to improve all matchups of human plus tech. Tools and technologies, simple to complex, are valuable only as we experience effective, safe use without undue errors or discouragement. From toothbrushes to laptops to space craft, celebrated devices are of limited value if people do not successfully interact with them. Basic awareness and knowledge of human factors and ergonomics in daily life are important for everyone, regardless of challenges, age, or abilities. Technologies of all types may appear useful, but their true worth emerges only as we ADD HUMAN.
