Techrights – come up with topics to cover and issues to comment on

Posted by Roy Shestowitz on December 4, 2024

Communication is a great part of it

I have been writing for many years and have written many articles on unique topics, and I am sometimes asked how I come up with ideas and topics. Being outside and talking to people helps; it is a quick way to understand other people’s point of view and sometimes insider knowledge (which they wouldn’t chat about or post online; it would potentially lead to problems if they did). For some specific species information there is simply no other way. Sometimes you just walk into some of the fancy pubs/cafes for informal chats, or discussing new information, or discussing existing information. A lot of “Freeware” isn’t technical, as it has conceptual and philosophical aspects, such as the consequences of paying for something with a card (in the name of the buyer) or links to examples of abuse on the Internet. One of the best aspects of writing for such a long time is that the more you write, the more people recognize your work and then contact you with more information. Many of the articles/materials we have reviewed are inspired by or indirectly sourced from other people. Some sources work for the companies and/or organizations we write about. No need to find random people and chat with them at the gym or in the pub.

Therefore short The story is that once you start (writing about a topic), expect people to post additional comments prompted by your previous work. It is a self-feeding process and I/O loop. But this should always involve discussions; people talk much more orally than they are willing to write because writing (even digital) leaves a “trace” and people can be caught when there is some kind of trail, digital or physical (the latter is harder to fake).

Some of our most important stories began with informal discussions. █
