Abstract :
An attempt is made to establish the view that any medium used to convey information is an interface. Knowing this, technical communicators should be able to make use of human-factors research and techniques that deal with user interfaces. The author discusses the human-factors principles of standardization, iteration and measurement, which all show promise when applied to technical communication
