It's not just "tech" writing, but writing in general. I made a (very good)
living as a writer (6 books published, many articles in print) since 1977.
And, the world has changed so much since then. Plus, it's pervasive. I
can't begin to tell you how many CEOs never get past the "executive
summary" in a whitepaper. After so many years of working at all levels in
the corporate world, I'm convinced that a large number of CEOs have
attention deficit disorder (ADD), and I'm serious!
The young folks, nowadays, get their news from streaming video media. At
some point, reading will become a lost art. Perhaps it already has. I'm
64, working full time, and at last count I read 66 books since a year ago,
May. Maybe I'm just old fashioned :-).
