Notes from a Floating Life | Thoughts about productivity, digital living, and leading a simpler life

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

I found this Scott Nesbitt article from his post on Google+, and it’s excellent. I think he makes a good point. Some of the "tech-savvy" is a natural ability for some, but in the end it’s really a skill that can be learned that all of us should have, especially as technical communicators. Read the whole article, and let me know if you agree with Scott’s assessment. I think he’s on the right track with this.
