About this book
Technology innovation is progressing so quickly that we have fallen behind our ability to manage it. Our world is filled with objects that invite human error--from VCRs to stoves to hospitals, airplane cockpits, and nuclear power plants. Problems--some potentially catastrophic--continuously arise when designs are developed without human nature in mind. What we really need, argues Kim Vicente, is technology that works for people.
