Abstract

This second and concluding article scans over some of the new kinds of human factors problems that have emerged as a result of recent technological advances. The article discusses aspects of these new problems in the following major areas: man-computer interaction (psychological problems related to on-line usage, the need for more "natural" interaction languages, graphical communication); man-vehicle control and guidance systems (better models of human controller, novel systems); communications (computers in telephone information services, satellite relays); advanced space systems ("learning" and display problems related to incorporation of computers in prelaunch activities). Last, a recent study in human information processing is cited that points up a general problemߞthe need for rational optimal models of human functioning.
