Abstract

Computer based workstations are shown to be a prerequisite for the use of the rapidly increasing selection of improved commercially available input and output facilities. Two design strategies are discussed and it is shown that only one of them is suitable for designing the human computer interface in such a way that human work effectivity is preserved even in a computer assisted work environment.
