RE: TC vs TW

[David Hailey <david -dot- hailey -at- usu -dot- edu>]

I would be happy to bet but what you have said makes no sense. Your bet is based on a bunch of conflicting points, some of which will be true and some of which will not be true.

I'll bet on these:

Over the next years, the role of technical writer (especially documentation specialists) will be increasingly outsourced, insourced, and offshored -- 1 lunch, payable in 5 years.

In ten years the vast majority of fulltime technical writing jobs with benefits will be gone, they will be contracted -- another lunch in 10 years.

How's that?  Bet?
