Three of My Favorite Things
January 16th, 2007Looking back at my brief life as a technical writer, I have a lot to thank these three solutions. All three have made a significant contribution in making my life easier. The learning process has been faster and I can’t imagine working without these tools at hand.
All three are in a way similar to each other. While Wordweb is a great thesaurus + dictionary, Google and Wikipedia are also search and consume solutions.
While reading Asimov’s Foundation series, I came across the concept of Encyclopedia Galactica. Hitchhiker’s guide in turn is a funny tribute to Encyclopedia Galactica. Both Google and Wikipedia, aspire to become the Encyclopedia Galactica and together they are in a way. What Fun!
