[Wannabe Writer] Making Tech Concepts Grandma-Friendly: Being a Tech Content Creator
Apparently, Einstein once said: "You haven't really understood something until you can explain it to your grandmother". That way, every concept may be perfectly clear to the speaker, but also accessible to the end listeners. With that in mind, content writing in tech has way more sense: overcoming barriers of a technical language helps tech and also non-tech people to grow and build a more conscious and safe environment. Trust me: being a tech content writer and creator will make you a better professional, and human. Join me on this session, and start growing your skills!
