Zusammenfassung
This paper explores how the perspectives that we adopt in understanding how people work, shape
the technologies that we design to be part of that work. Using examples from our current
technology, it indicates how the resulting machines, and their user interfaces, fall short in the roles
they are designed to play in work. Such descriptions as user friendly, idiot proof, command Job,
work flow and supporting work betray viewpoints which lead to difficulties in our designs. The
paper suggests through possible future designs that better understandings of work can lead through
the framing of architecture to better technology, systems and working.
