- In 1974 Harry Braverman suggested that that technology tends to undermine the skills that people use in their work. (There is evidence of this even in the software development industry). The idea of Human-Centred Systems is a reaction against this notion; Human-Centred Systems aim to preserve or enhance human skills, in both manual and office work. Mike Cooley coined this term when he discussed, amongst other work, the transition from traditional drafting at a drawing board to Computer-Aided Design . There have been a number of projects that have attempted to see whether and how human-centred systems can be developed: the Utopia project in Scandinavia, where a group of computer scientists, social scientists and print workers together combined to design a workstation for newspaper layout. in machine tools and computer aided manufacture. in clerical work. A different approach, with a similar name is Human-Centered Computing.
