本文从历史的角度描述了技术传播专业的发展经历了三个时代：黄铜时代、米色时代和玻璃时代。我将这种发展与学术学科的发展相提并论，并将其与非机构性技术交流的爆炸式增长相提并论--非机构性技术交流是发生在组织和机构之外的不断增长的战术技术交流主体。这让我将今天描述为技术交流的黄金时代。我的结论是，我们应该扩大技术交流的范围，将其作为一套值得每个人学习的技能来传播。
This article uses a historical perspective to describe the development of the profession of technical communication through three ages: Brass, Beige, and Glass. I compare this development to the growth of the academic discipline and both to the explosion of noninstitutional technical communication—the growing body of tactical technical communication that happens outside of organizations and institutions. This leads me to describe today as the Golden Age of technical communication. I conclude that we should broaden the scope of technical communication and spread it as a set of skills valuable for everyone to learn.
