ABSTRACT

Communication in this era of digital technology, multiple worldviews, and visual information is no longer simply about putting words on paper. In fact, it is not even about putting words on the screen, but rather about creating messages that address specific audiences using words, visual information, various media and delivery mechanisms, shapes, and sounds. Online communication is quick, reaches millions of readers, makes it difficult to know who the author is, and lets readers and writers interact with each other. Technical communicators are in close contact with digital technologies and the implications of such technologies for everyday communication.
