Technical Communication, or Information Engineering (if you prefer),
IMHO, encompases so much more that traditional writing. I am creating a
website for my job. It's technical writing, web junk....and now,,,,I'm
even learning Perl and CGI. I think of it as nothing more than part of
what a technical communicator does. Heck, I look at it as we are
superpeople who have the knowledge to do it all when it comes to the
written word.
