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.
If you haven't yet seen "Air Force One," please do ASAP! There are
several scenes in this film that show how important accurate technical
manuals are to end-users, especially during emergencies! What a hoot! I
was ROTFLMAO!
Even though research might show that such manuals are seldom used, we
should still take pride in producing accurate and easy-to-understand
schematics and instructions.
