Technical Documentation in the United States of America 
Technical communication in the United States has been defined as 'any effort that makes it possible for people to get the most from the technology in their lives.' This broad definition covers the breadth of the profession that includes such communities as instructional design, information architecture, marketing communications, documentation development, usability, management, training, business communication, translation, writing, and editing. The 21 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) within the Society for Technical Communication (STC) illustrate the diversity and breadth of technical communication. The diverse specialties that make up technical communication in the US are at once its strength and its problem.

The reason for the relatively low number of technical writers in India is because India has been concentrating mainly on doing projects. It is only in recent years that many top multinationals have set up their development factories here. This has dramatically increased the technical writers' population in India. In some companies in Bangalore and Pune, one gets to hear of teams of 10 and 20 technical writers. Otherwise, India is no different to other countries: a large number of technical writers work alone in their companies. Today, all these technical writers have come together to share information and ideas through TWIN, the Technical Writers of India mailing list.

Technology in and Beyond the Classroom
Many professors are using the Internet and the Web in connection with teaching traditional classes. Even if you don't want to use the Internet or the Web extensively, you may want to consider using them for some communication functions (see below) or for some information technology topics you might choose to include in a traditional course. Civil procedure professors, for example, may find it useful to visit websites linking to caselaw and commentary about the criteria for obtaining personal jurisdiction over those who maintain websites or on cyberspace as its own jurisdiction. Torts professors may find of interest Web-based materials on the potential liability of online service providers for torts committed by users. A panoply of materials about the Communications Decency Act and the Reno v. ACLU case are available on various websites for constitutional law courses. At the very least, law professors may want to treat the Internet and the Web as useful sources of information when preparing their classes.

Training Technical Communicators at the "Top of the World"
Technical Communication is not a profession per se in Nepal, at least not until Pilgrim Asia was founded in 1997. Because of that, finding trained individuals to produce topnotched documentation for Pilgrim Asia can be as adventurous as scaling the country’s and world’s highest peak – Mt. Everest. (Ah ha! Nepal!). It takes perseverance and mountains of pages of writing and editing for increments of excellence. But once skills are learned, the expectation level exponentially rises so new levels of excellence are achieved. And with each product release we prove that technical communication can be a viable profession in Nepal.
