Ergonomics comes from two Greek words: ergon, meaning work, and nomoi, meaning natural laws.  After reading many articles about the term "ergonomics", I would define it as a proper design of a tool, object, space, or system that increases productivity. It is all about designing for people's needs, and sometimes the term "human factors" can be used interchangeably. It is a collection of natural and technical research and development studies, examining the physical and psychological characteristics of humans. In simple words, It is the science of work. There have been many ergonomics examples throughout the years of technology, some resulted in success, while others were complete failures. In the following paragraph, I will mention two opposing examples from the IT world.

The word netiquette was first used in "Netiquette Rules" ("Rules of netiquette"), a set of rules from good behavior created and published in 1995 by the online organization Internet Engineering Task Force, responsible for establishing standards for the proper functioning of the network.

 The idea behind copyleft is a general methodology of converting a program (or other work) into free software, not by a sense of money but a sense of rights. Copyleft has the opposite meaning of the term Copyright. In legal terms, Copyleft actually means sharing the rights recognized by the concept of Copyright with a contract, one of which is anonymous, instead of a contract between the parties. In this article, I am going to discuss 3 types of Copyleft - strong, weak and, no copyleft.

Weak copyleft - The main difference between weak copyleft and strong one is that weak copyleft allows developers to integrate the software with a proprietary system. It is mainly used in the case where a developer use collections of codes to make one software. No copyleft - This is th...
