TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Are you saying we'll never see the likes of this "microprocessor revolution" again?
Aren't there many other technologies coming into play which will put more "immature technologies in front of a public"? I'm thinking: networking, storage, displays, the media distribution revolution that is starting....
Is there any evidence that the market for generic technical writers has been any harder hit than that for generic programmers?
Besides, even "mature" consumer appliances are often just as difficult to use as they always were. In the last twenty years or so we've seen VCRs come and go, and mine is still blinking "12:00".
