RE: "Surviving the Dying Career of Technical Writing"

["Janoff, Steven" <Steven -dot- Janoff -at- hologic -dot- com>]

Can you describe what you mean by this?  I think the original idea was looking more at modern times - the growth of the modern technical writer.

What happened in ancient times *might* be relevant, but contemporary society is where we find ourselves today.  Still, I'd like to understand what you were saying.

Thanks,

Steve
