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.
I wonder who documented Oppenheimer's research on the atom bomb? Were they
limiting or enabling the taking of innocent lives? I must assume that anyone
who, in a democratic society, documents a product advocates its use. Hence,
the military is the one area I would confidently avoid in a job search.
By the way, by stating that "guns and bombs and Global Positioning
Satelites" are defending my right to have this discussion, Mr. Murrell makes
a lot of assumptions about global politics, justifiable military action and
my rights. However, that is definitely off-topic. DB.
