This volume aims to review some of the recent developments and
trends that seem especially relevant to any attempt to understand
near-term-future possibilities; to consider what a variety of
knowledgeable people are saying about changes and developments that
could occur; and to relate the possibilities to needs and
opportunities for human factors research. Human factors, in this
case, includes not only the implications of human capabilities and
limitations for the design of equipment and machines intended for
human use, but also applied psychology in a more general sense. In
particular, it is taken to involve social systems as well as
physical ones, the interaction of people with the environment as
well as with machines, the facilitation of communication between
people as well as between people and computers, and the design of
policies and procedures as well as the design of equipment. The
author's intention is to focus on anticipated problems -- including
opportunities as well as difficulties -- and ask how human factors
research might contribute to solutions. It is assumed that there
are ways in which such research could be useful in addressing
societal problems that the profession has not yet realized and that
these are more likely to be recognized in the future if the
community is actively seeking to identify them.
