What is Technical Writing?

In general, technical writing is a way of communication for not only professionals but everyone that uses writing on a day to day basis. Technical writing can go from business letters or memos to shipping invoices of products being shipped overseas to a grocery list. Even something as simple as a grocery list, these items must be communicated to the person as to what is needed. As well as for the shipping invoice, it needs to be written properly in order what the products to be shipped correctly. And in a business memo it could be as simple as letting everyone know about a party or a budget cut. However the situation occurs technical writing is part of everyday communication that is more and more important as the computer is more widely used. So technical writing may not be used to write on paper such as from my time in high school. I had to learn how to use the computer for research, writing the paper, and e-mailing to the instructor.
So in conclusion, technical writing is a very important tool in our everyday lives whether it be via computer or hand written.
