Reddit reviews The Human Factor: Revolutionizing the Way People Live with Technology

This is a book for engineers, and other people, but I think more people need to read it as it isn't obviously an engineering book: The Human Factor: Revolutionizing the Way People Live with Technology by Kim Vicente. Vicente writes about how people affect technology and how technology affects people - things that should be obvious and standard, but sadly isn't. Gives a great introduction to socio-technical studies.

I am currently taking a course in Human Factors and Ergonomics in Information and Technology, really enjoying the material. Have you heard of IDEO?

For class we had to read Kim Vicente's book, highly recommend it.

The Human Factor by Vicente is really good and has entertaining stories. It deals with everything from physical usability to computer screens. I haven't read "Don't Make Me Think", so I can't compare the two, but I highly recommend this one!

Warning: it may make you hate your stove for being poorly designed ;)
