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.
Depending on the age and computer experience of the managers, they may
be unaware that there is any kind of interface for a computer other
than a Graphical User Interface, and they are probably only dimly
aware, if indeed aware at all, of the concept of a "user interface" in
general.
In general, I don't think that the "user interface" concept is widely
understood by people not located somewhere on the nerd-geek continuum.
Expecting non-technical users or managers to know about it is
unrealistic.
"You just use the computer by pointing at stuff and clicking
buttons... isn't that how all computers work and have always worked?
Every computer I've ever seen works that way."
