But did not offer any view of the future at all. I reckon there are three trends (the first identified by Mark Miodownik) will influence future instruction manuals. The three trends are as follows: 1. Our on-going relationship with teccnology 2. Competitive pressure between brand owners 3. Users should demand better instructions I expand on each of these at http://tinyurl.com/ks2v4m It was an interesting programme on the history product guides and promised to explore the future of them.
