Beyond Chairs and Keyboards: The Surprising Future of Ergonomics
Manage episode 444050210 series 3606254
In this episode, we explore an expansive view of ergonomics. Join us as we uncover the hidden "left-handed tax" and its surprising economic impact. We also consider some mind- (and finger-) bending human augmentation technologies. But it's not all physical–we also discuss emotional ergonomics and how it's reshaping our daily interactions, including an example from one of our favorite places, the public library. Tune in for a glimpse into a more inclusive, emotionally aware, and adaptive future via ergonomic design.
