Foreword

People are impacted by Science every day. This simple fact is advantageous when it represents an improvement in the quality of life. Many times, when people refer to their quality of life, they associate it with free time. However, this book sheds light on improving the quality of life from the work perspective. Since we probably spend a third of our time working, it is especially important to embrace Science and Technology to produce meaningful changes that benefit us.

These changes, however small they may seem, can have major impacts on the society in which they are generated. Incorporating Science and Technology in everyday work-life can help increase opportunities, improve mental well-being, and enhance productivity which are central to a better quality of life. These changes could substantially contribute towards the incorporation of people with special abilities into today's industry.
