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.
But how do these "cycles" impact the market for technical writers?
All the aspects you describe have always needed to be documented,
if not in end user instructions, then for installation, service,
manufacturing,
QA, etc., etc., instructions. The only thing that has changed over the
years with the technical sophistication of the end user is which volume
in the overall product document set you place a given bit of information.
