"Human Engineering" is the job or making programs easy to use, and easy to understand.

We feel that the majority of programs are fail in this area.

What is required to make a program "Smarter"?
Let's look at the requirements we set out in the previous page:

• It is *really* easy and intuitive to use, i.e. 'a pleasure'.
• Doesn't require you to be a computer programmer, to use it!
• Allows you to accomplish complicated and lengthy tasks in seconds.
• Informs you what it is doing, without confusing messages, (i.e. is not a "black box").
• Never, ever makes a mistake!
• Warns you when *you* are about to make a mistake!
• Asks "Are You Sure?" at appropriate times
• Offers you the full capabilities of the function being configured
• Knows how to handle hardware errors.
• Can predict what you want and not have to ask you each and every single detail

Clearly, each and every action the program takes, has to be thought out, and what the program has to accomplish is only a small part of the "job at hand".

Where many programs only "get the job done", ISP Innovations programs:

• "Get the job done" and
• "Make sure the program was easy to use, (as described above), and
• "Make sure there were no errors, and that the job was successful"
