Abstract
The rapid development of computer technology is reviewed and its impact on employment and on the gross national product is mentioned. The process of designing an effective human-computer communication system is outlined, the role of job satisfaction is mentioned and methods which can be utilized to minimize (or optimize) occupational stress in human-computer communication work environment is discussed. The impact of utilizing high technology on the educational needs of ergonomists are outlined.Keywords
