Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the possibilities of adapting humorous smart technologies to the workplace. Also, we discuss the precautions that need to be taken when introducing the theories of humor. We explore adapting the theories of humor and their pros and cons of their content in the workplace. We believe their adaptation will will help current and future employees at companies to improve and retain their happiness. We also provide a brief explanation of the different types of humorous technologies: multi-modal, physical, and virtual and how they can be beneficial in the workplace. Suggestions of how to evaluate these systems are also provided.
