possible. Foucault (1977 pg.153) says that “the body
becomes a useful force only if it is both a productive
body and a subjected body”. Ergonomics subjects the
body while, at the same time, makes the body more
productive. Boundaries between biology and
technology become increasingly blurred. Ergonomics
injects technology with human characteristics and
humans with technological characteristics in order to
optimize the “fit”.
As mentioned earlier, ergonomics or human
factors engineering is not a new approach or concept.
It has as its history the beginning of the use of tools.
However, it’s late 19th and early 20th Century roots
are embedded in the scientific management approach
to work (previously discussed). However, as a
“formal discipline ergonomic, and ergonomic
principles were originally applied to the military, the
goal of which was to maximize the humadweapon
interface to create an efficient fighting “system”
