ABSTRACT
In 1979, Alain Wisner, one of the founders of French ergonomics, referring to the quasifailure of technology transfers to industrially developing countries, declared there was an urgent need to develop “a true anthropotechnology, i.e., an adaptation of technology to the people, which just as ergonomics associates knowledge from the human sciences to improve the design of technical systems…and since the scale considered is different, so the sources needed must also be different.”
