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.
Well, as long as moving production to India lowers the
price of what I buy, and as long as I have the same
access to global markets as such companies do, then
all seems fine.
I'd worry about companies circumventing pollution
laws, abusing labor, etc.
As tech jobs move to India, including some tech
writing jobs, there are going to be more engineers and
programmers looking to slide into technical writing
roles.
And, while the exodus of such jobs from the U.S.
clearly affects technical writers and is important to
us, I have yet to see productive discussion on-list
that did not degenerate--productive meaning new
thoughts and insights being added that we technical
writers can use to improve ourselves or our positions.
Cheers,
Sean
