Writing

Writing continues to be produced in large amounts on every conceivable subject.

The people who have time to read however has remained the same. Which means most writing will not be read.

I worked as a Tech Writer for 20 years (1980-2000). But what I wrote, I have to admit, was of low quality. But at least I knew what I was trying to do.

My grandmother wanted to write novels but had no idea what she wanted to do. As a result, she ended up collecting rejection slips, having no idea why.

Writing about Software, by contrast, is being produced in ever-greater quantity and quality.  This is only possible because Software is part of a new economy (the Computer economy) where things work differently.
