Ergonomics is the discipline concerned with interactions among humans and other elements of a system (the term ‘system’ is intentionally vague and ranges from simple tools to complex sociotechnical structures). As a science, ergonomics is relatively young; however, the underlying ideal, human-centred technology, has played a pivotal role in the evolution of human society from its very start. The use of stone tools by homo habilis, over two million years ago, represents the dawn of ergonomics as an artform. Throughout the history of civilization, technological innovations were motivated by fundamental human aspirations for security, prevalence and self worth, and by problems arising from human-system interactions. In the 20th century, ergonomics emerged as a formal science in its own right, though it continues to be taught as part of other faculties such as engineering or psychology. Although it has been referred to as the science of work, ergonomics, in its broadest sense, is concerned with all forms of human activity. The application of the scientific method to the development of theory, principles and data relevant to design has had enormous impact on the reduction of user error, improved performance, reduction of occupational injuries and worker discomfort, increased usability and safety of computer systems and consumer products.
