Here is a quick way to understand the writer's responsibilities pre and post computer invention

Revolution is a process that affects perspectives, perceptions, practices, and hence the outcome. When that actually occurs, the duty of turning it for betterment lies in the hands of people who go through it on a personal front.

One such revolution that made ‘the writers’ in the corporate world carry forward the legacy of organizational writing and at the same time swiftly embrace new technologies, practice new methodologies, take up new challenges, and cut short the time they would spend on drafting, developing and publishing the communication materials is the invention of the computer.

The invention has changed his role from mere a language expert to a 2.0 or 3.0 technology savvy. It has forced the otherwise soft soul, creative, and facetious writer, to become a suave technology expert learning new tools of the trade and aligning them with proven old methodologies and procedures while spreading the message with utmost lucidity.
