The future of the field will be technology laden
Technology is loaded with tons of information. It is needed a lot, and it will keep improving. You can almost find anything with the use of technology. It's used everyday by everybody in the world. I don't think anyone can live without it except maybe old people who are still learning and adjusting to it. It may become a problem or may not with the next generation. It will all depend on how they use it or what they use it for.
eople handle technologyand address its problems and solutions with respect to theircurrent knowledge space.
This is what they mean when they say that no technology is neutral. Technology is very biased to the people who use it.
It influences and is influenced by other technol-ogies and social issues.
Technology is dependent on other technological information. It is never independent. For example, you can get an iPhone that is bigger in size now which is called the iPhone 6 plus. It was probably influenced by Samsung since they have the Samsung Galaxy Note. I am pretty sure that the creators of the iPhone 6 plus wanted people to know that the iPhone's screen can also be very big just like the Samsung's.
Writing and rhetorical issues are imponant and mustbe taught in an academic program, but failing to realize thatemployers consider those skills a given and judge prospec-tive employees on a more extensive set of skills handicapsboth the student and the long-term growth of the field. A
Writing and rhetorical issues are very important in the course of technical writing.
Strategic planning in this context is figuring out howtechnologies integrate and what effects they will have.Tactical planning is figuring out how to implement a singlenew technology. Reaction planning is complaining abouthow management, without warning expects the writinggroup to use a new technology that they didn't choosethemselves. Post-mortem planning is wondering how thecompany could outsource documentation to an overseascompany and lay off the writers who had producedperfectly written, unread manuals. W
These are the different types of planning. I think that strategic planning is the most important because; you need to first figure out how technologies blend into each other, and what effect they will have when you use them. The rest of the planning types all depend on the results of strategic planning.
A significant problem is the lack of empirical researchinto how to handle the technology issues within technicalcommunication.
What do they mean when they say "empirical research?"

What I fear is thattechnology will be dumped on us without our input and thatwe will shoulder the blame when that technology fails toperform as expected.
But, it has already happened. Technology keeps changing and improving, and we as people don't get much opinion on it. We as people don't get much say in what we want to happen to technology. Technology develops and improves when we least expect it. I believe that people will not blame technology, but rather themselves. They are going to blame themselves for not catching up to the latest technology and for being too old-fashioned.
Now that seat is easier to get but just aseasy to lose if you can't contribute as an equal member ofthe team.
It is easy to retrieve something, but it is also easy to lose that same thing if you don't focus on the goal. If you want something really badly you must be able to focus on it without thinking about anything else. But, if you lose your goal it is okay too because; you can always get right back up and try again and again until you reach it. You must persevere and remember that if you can't put your own effort in what you want to do, you can easily lose the purpose of what you wanted in the first place.
erhaps part of thereason is that too many writers want to ignore technologyas much as possible; unfortunately, I think the end result isthat they either miss the train or get run over by it. I'veinwardly c
I would probably agree with this comparison if it was back in the days where technology wasn't as efficient as now. But, now that since everyone in the world uses and relies a lot on technology this comparison between writers with technology and missing the train does not match up.
Dream-Weaver is a tool, but all the various Web design tools andhow we use them to construct a Web site comprise atechnology.
This is an example of a tool and technology. Technology is something that builds a website up to what it is made of while, a tool is the website as whole.
