Industry veteran Raymond Nickerson provides an extensive introduction to the information technology revolution that is transforming industrial society.

He reviews the human-factors research that has been done and is underway, with special attention to the physical and cognitive interface, including languages, conversational interactions, and the concepts of friendliness and usability.
