RE: Technical Writing in the Movies

Peter's question immediately prompts me to ask:

How many tech. writers on this list are (actively) involved with adult
literacy programs? (I, sadly, am not.)

I look forward to exciting answers.

Our profession involves hours and hours of creating usable documentation (in
all formats). How many of us are helping those who can't yet read our
creations to one day be readers and users of our products?

Speaking of tech writing in the movies, was anyone else struck
by the fact that a key plot twist in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon" centered on one character being unable to read a manual?  :)
