[d] describe how modern work environment is significantly different from out natural environment.
In your answere describe at least 3 difference and how those generally affect the interface design
problem.
[e] besides the ecological approach, designing a human machine interface can also be approached
from 2 other prespectives, each providing their own unique insights, benefits and pitfalls.
- what are these 2 other approaches called
- describe how do these approaches differ fudamentally from te ecological approach. In other words
what are the unique starting points of EID and 2 other approaches?
[f] in general, an interface is characterized by its content structure, and form. How are these 3 items
specified in the ecological approach to interface design? In other words, how does one find the
content, structure and form of an ecological interface?
