Two-Minute Video to Convince Others of the Value of Technical Documentation
October 29th, 2008 | Posted in blog 2 Comments »
On the Technical Writers of India listserv, someone is trying to get his company to realize the value of technical communication by showing a humorous video on bad documentation that he can use during training. “The idea is to evoke laughter, and keep the audience engaged throughout my presentation.”
Okay, hands-down, this is the best video to show. Hat tip to Holly Harkness and Karen Shriver for finding this.

This is a great video. I often use it in training – and not just for technical writers either, I’ve used it with sales and marketing teams too, as a warning against use of too much “techno-babble.”
This is great! I’ll be forwarding this little gem to several people.
