Tech writing tie-in:
On the plus side, when people can't write or spell well, writers become more
valuable.
On the other hand, when people can't read, who needs writers?
I can't let this pass--even if it is Friday afternoon (and 95 degrees
outside, where I'm alternately wishing I was at the beach or heading to the
Baskin Robbins across the street).
Just because writers may not be needed (something that I doub;t'll ever come
true anyway), we'll still need communicators. Communication is inherent
within everything, and we'll still need to create appropriate designs that
communicate correctly.
