ABSTRACT
Macroergonomics is one of the younger “disciplines” of ergonomics. One therefore might ask, why talk about the future? At least two reasons immediately come to mind. First, we are living in a rapidly changing world, and actual definitions or concepts might be obsolete tomorrow. Second, ergonomics as a whole has a lot of challenges to compete with-and macroergonomics might be influenced from this development as well. To learn for the future, it always is worthwhile to analyze the state of the art, based on the past.
