Abstract

This chapter will assess the importance of physical, cognitive, and affective engineering in designing and developing technology for the user interface, device, and website. These aspects are essential in technology design, since they assist designers to examine the relationships between users and technology, and to improve users’ performance when dealing with this technology, in order to reduce errors and increase satisfaction and users’ acceptance of the system. These aspects should be part of sustainable technology design to ensure the users’ acquiescence, reduce their frustration, and ensure that the new smart technology design will meet user, society, and community needs simultaneously.
