 * List the three definitions of 'ergonomics'.**

1. Physical Ergonomics - Concerned with the physical nature of humans as they move performing various tasks. For example, the way people flip the page of a book.

2. Cognitive Ergonomics - Concerned with the mental nature of humans as they think about elements in their environment. For example, the memorization of information in a book.

3. Organizational Ergonomics - Concerned with the organizational processes by which humans interact with each other. For example, the division of chapters in a book.


 * Read each of the task analyses and case studies at** [|**http://www.ergonomics.org.au/ergonomics/case_studies.html#case6**]**. Choose one of the case studies, and add an additional recommendation to one of them in step two as 'advice'.**

Case Study 2: Hospitality and Serving Food Advice: Arrange tables so that there is a circular lane between the tables. The circular lane has enough room for a waiter and has access to all table. Instruct the waiters to move around this lane in a clockwise manner so that no wait should ever be moving against the flow of other waiters.


 * Find an example of a product which is ergonomically sound, and add a link to an article about this product.**

Multi-touch interface is a new way of interacting with computers. This new interface is more cognitively ergonomic than the standard mouse and keyboard. [|http://www.cs.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch/]
