Technical Writing

“Technical” refers to something that is specialized and in close correlation to a job or specific task. It also makes me think of something mechanical or technological, although something that is technical does not have to be technological. You can do something technically with seems to give an air of skill and exactness. “Writing” is physically putting language on to paper in a legible way. On a much deeper level, writing is a way to express one’s thoughts and emotions in a way that can be powerful, interesting, detailed, and sometimes professional. Technical writing would evoke a professional writing to inform or instruct someone within a professional field.
In the profession of Computer Science, technical writing could takes on some very interesting meanings because while you make have to write memos to employees or emails to clients, documentation of code would seem to be technical writing. Technical writing would then take on a very different meaning in my profession verses my personal life. Technical writing in my personal life would take on a very different feel (more relaxed and specific to people), while technical writing within computer science would be specific and detailed to code syntax.
