Trends in Technical Communication
After the life-devouring dot-com boom and the savings-devouring dot-bomb bust comes the inevitable question: can we survive whatever's next? What's happening to the tools that help us rapidly produce top-quality work? Which old skills will definitely serve us in the near and long term, and what new ones must we acquire in order to succeed?
