Part 1. Technical writing is a technique use to teach or demonstrate about a topic to a target audience, using design, special reasoning, technical speech, and clear titles and headings. Technical writing takes into consideration the audience’s needs, and education level and accommodates to this audience.If I were to try to explain what technical writing is to someone unfamiliar with it, I would first explain that technical writing is often “used in more specialized settings” (Gurak & Lannon, p.3,2016). This setting may be a professional, workplace setting. Also, I’d explain the concept of a target audience, who the writer of the document designed the document for. I would also explain that the writer considered the specific audience to make the document understandable for this group of people. I would also explain that technical writing is about how the document is designed. Design allows reader to easily navigate through the document to find the needed information quickly. The language used in technical writing is also a key component. Using a precise language, that is understandable and free of jargon, can make a document not only functional for the primary audience, but also for a broader secondary audience. A large difference between typical writing and technical writing, that technical writing is a user- centered communication” (Gurak & Lannon, p.4, 2016). Technical communication is all about helping the reader learn, understand, or accomplish a task.

PART 2

Technical writing for me rather than a resource, is an indispensable form of communication to be able to write contexts. A few examples are professional, scientific and investigative nature. As a future nurse, the ability to write in a technical way, allows me to explore and understand much more about the vast and extensive world of Medicine. It also provides me with a rich and proportionate knowledge and being able to supply clear and concise information on the patient’s health status.My desire is not only to use this tool in the labor force or any other professional area, but, also in many aspects of my life such as to become a good researcher and improve my communication skills. Gurak & Lannon suggest that “technical communication help us interact with technology in our daily lives.” (p. 3), furthermore, since we are living in a futuristic time, with great advances in technology being made everyday, the use of technical writing is increasingly imposed as an activity of vital importance for the development of ideas open to the contemporary world.In order to explain to a person who is unfamiliar with this subject, the first step could be describing in more detail the meaning of technical writing and the difference from a regular writing, such as a composition course which may use basic language suitable for any audience. I’ve shown several examples and have detailed how important technical writing can be today, and how it has contributed not only in research and scientific areas, but, also in many human endeavors.
