Sure. We’ve been reducing word count in procedures for some time. It’s time to do more, however. As noted in an earlier post, we have to think mobile. Think small screens and small devices. Screen real estate will be at a premium.
With that in mind, I’m offering some suggestions on how to cut back. Remember [...]]]></description>

As my friends and family know, I’ve been mesmerized of late by a box of old letters I had stashed in my closet. The letters were from long ago – the late 70s and early 80s &#8211; before computers were in use, and definitely before e-mail.
The letters are a joy to read, as they recall [...]]]></description>

Lately, I&#8217;ve come across two articles about flexible screens. One is for small touch screens, the other is about video.
What&#8217;s particularly interesting about the video flexible screens is that the article in Technology Review states that there is a possibility that such screens could be &#8220;worn on wrists, and plastered on clothes.&#8221; Now imagine this [...]]]></description>

More and more, I think it’s time to discard main approaches to tech writing and come up with new methodologies. The world and technology is changing so much that I think it’s time to start fresh. Just as sometimes when you’re working on a sentence and you tweak it and change it, but it’s still [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Everything is on YouTube.&#8221;
So stated my son the other day, in response to a comment about looking to see if something might be there. I&#8217;d have to agree with him. Every time I look for something there, I&#8217;m surprised. The fact that younger kids think of YouTube as a primary source of information also gives [...]]]></description>

For a while now, I&#8217;ve been checking out Twitter to see how people are using it from a business standpoint. This may deviate somewhat from the original purpose, but I&#8217;m noticing that more businesses are using it. This is what I&#8217;ve concluded.
Twitter provides a fast way to disseminate information and announcements to many users at [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a generation gap, basically. Digital immigrants are at the older end; they prefer to read information in print in something they can hold in their hand. Those of a younger age prefer the new technologies, and are quite comfortable reading on the computer or on their phone. They learn differently, access information differently, and [...]]]></description>

IMO, all tech writers should know the basics of relational database design. Colleges should incorporate it into tech writing programs. I&#8217;m convinced of it. Why? I had worked for many years as a tech writer before taking a database design class, and have continued to work in that capacity for a number of years (and [...]]]></description>
