When I checked her contribution to society and other men’s contributions to society online. I think everyone contributes to society, and these contributions are very important, regardless of hierarchy. But the strange thing is that the description of these contributions is strange. I have never seen the title being the first male. But Lillian Moller Gilbreth is America’s First Lady of Engineering-foremother of Human Factors in Industrial engineering. Wikipedia describes her life is not easy. Although her parents attach great importance to education, but still disagrees with her going to college and hopes she will get married soon. She also described her not only to take care of 12 children but also to contribute to academics after she got married. But other men also have families but they did not describe his contribution to the family in the Wikipedia.
In the early 20th century, Frank Gilbreth and Lillian Gilbreth began to work on motion research, and they are considered to be one of the pioneers in the field of ergonomics. At that time, it was not called interaction, it was more about how people use machines better. The interaction between humans and machines to this day. So we should understand the history of the past, the story of the pioneers. As an interaction designer, our essence is to better unite humans and machines to make machines more suitable for our humans, so we must not only learn history but also understand human psychology, ergonomics, engineering, etc.
Thank you for sharing! It’s good to know that In the early 20th century, Frank Gilbreth and Lillian Gilbreth began to work on motion research, and they are considered to be one of the pioneers in the field of ergonomics.
