The irruption of New Technologies in South-East Asia has dreadful social effects such as unemployment and the rejection of former worker skills, but is also an opportunity to show that ergonomics has resources which have been neglected so far in this part of the world. The outstanding feature of these resources, which are vital for the successful transfer of these New Technologies, is that they are both technically and economically indispensable. Although the well-being, health and safety of workers may be sadly overlooked without drastic economic effects, this is not the case when using New Technologies, since costly mistakes may arise if the operators are unable to use computerized systems properly. Cognitive ergonomics associated with situated cognition may then make a great contribution. Since New Technologies are generally imported from Europe, the United States or Japan, they include special features which originate from these industrialized societies. Thanks to Ergonomic Work Analysis, we can discover the difficulties encountered in the importing country and find solutions based on anthropotechnology concepts, methodologies and knowledge.
新技术在东南亚的涌入产生了诸如失业和对 former worker 技能的排斥等可怕的社会影响,但这也是一个机会,可表明人体工程学拥有在世界这一地区迄今被忽视的资源。这些对这些新技术的成功转移至关重要的资源的突出特点是,它们在技术上和经济上都是不可或缺的。虽然在没有巨大经济影响的情况下,工人的福祉、健康和安全可能会被可悲地忽视,但在使用新技术时情况并非如此,因为如果操作员不能正确使用计算机系统,可能会出现代价高昂的错误。与情境认知相关的认知人体工程学可能会做出巨大贡献。由于新技术通常从欧洲、美国或日本进口,它们包含源自这些工业化社会的特殊特征。借助人体工程学工作分析,我们可以发现进口国遇到的困难,并基于人类技术的概念、方法和知识找到解决方案。
