MAN AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: TOWARDS FRIENDLIER SYSTEMS

In the past few years electronic information systems have penetrated into every sector and corner of society. This trend will undoubtedly accelerate in the years ahead, and this is why it is so important that the systems should not only operate more effectively, but also that they should be more easy and convenient to use. The aim of this study is to examine the way in which information systems could be designed in future in order to achieve a better match with human behaviour and thought processes. It is intended to examine a period extending some ten years into the future. For a separate abstract of the study on route information systems see TRIS 393194. (TRRL)
