Abstract
The Internet and web technologies continually evolve and advance. The web based technologies, systems and products have created tremendous challenges and opportunities for human factors professionals. We need to keep up with the technology trend in order to participate in the system and product design and development processes and advocate for the users. This panel session invites four human factors professionals who will review the current Internet and web technology trends and their impact on our professional work. The panel chair will start the session with a short overview and introduction. Each panelist will then give a short presentation. The discussion session will then follow. It is hoped that presentation will invoke questions from audiences, which in turn generates lively discussions.
