Word World and Tech World at WordPress
I’m just shocked that so little attention is paid by the Internet, (for want of a better word) to people like me, who are NOT techies but, on the other hand, deal in the written word and the other “arts”.
It is such that I feel unwelcome and left out of the whole tech dialogue. I mean, as I see it, there are two worlds in this world, one is the tech world, (God bless them) and the other world is the world of WORDS, writers and such.
Fact is, these two worlds are worlds apart, which hurts all. It is one reason the dot com of the nineties failed, and still fails today falling short of its potential. Sadly, there was, and there still is little, or no, connection between these two worlds. Both are needed, but sometimes they don’t see the need for each other.
For example, I need tech help to do my writing work, but find it hard to come by, especially as I don’t even know the questions to ask tech people. There needs to be a specific outreach to people like me by the tech world, but it can’t be done by techies. What is needed is something like a forum, or some other interface, just for that purpose alone, called, tech for non-tech people, or something like that.
Does anyone want me to help set it up? I computerized the first bank in the world and I had to be the interface between the techs and the rest of us, in order to get that done. This splicing is hard but it can be done, and I know how to do it, having done it, when that is what I had to do.
Right now, I just need to find someone to do for me, what I did for that bank long ago, that is, be the go-between between the tech world, and the word world. For example at Word Press, a fine organization, the Word and the Press are not smoothly connected. The Word is, of course, the word world, and the Press part is the tech world. These two are in constant conflict with each other as they are worlds apart in the way they think.
