Abstract
Most of the current members of the Society for Technical Communication, the largest professional society of technical communicators, began their careers in communications. In the 1970s, on the other hand, most technical communicators were technical people who had taken on writing tasks. This shift has created new opportunities for improving the technical writing product, as well as new problems for technical professionals, communications professionals, and managers to face and resolve
