We have a new feature on EID this week: our Hall of Fame article.
On Monday we republished an earlier piece on eReaders. France when through our analytics for the
year and picked out the one that was read the most. Many of you probably still missed it, so this
is our attempt to save you from your own inattention :-).
Then on Tuesday we started a new series: socially
responsible human factors and ergonomics.
Kind of like corporate CSR, but with the idea that we can apply our
tried and true methods and principles in ways that increase the general
welfare. Perhaps the environment.
Perhaps global health. Perhaps global happiness. I am not sure how many of these we will do,
but at least a few. This week we featured pre-cycling and the article next week will continue the idea with an
article on up-cycling.
On Wednesday, we continued the “Fun with Words” series.
Another great and amusing example of the government getting caught up on the meaning
of one or two terms in a 400-page legislation and going to court about it. And not using anything resembling user
centered design to decide.
Finally, we summarized the human factors and ergonomics
principles that were common among Fortune Magazine’s Best Places to Work. It should
be no surprise that there are so many.
After all, that is what we do. We make the company happy by making the employee
effective and efficient and make the employee happy by satisfying their
personal motivations, both intrinsic like expertise self-expression and
extrinsic like money and socializing.
Hope you liked them!!
