Kim and Kristin - What is technical writing

All of the information that we have received and the articles that we have read have helped to clarify our definition of technical writing. This is a professional style of writing done in a particular format for a specific audience. These writings are designed to be very concise yet as detailed as possible. They are involving only as much jargon as necessary because they need to be easily understood, and keep the attention of the readers. Everything in these documents are designed around the reader, the style, the content, the level of difficulty, and even the language. Before reading these articles my thoughts on technical writing were vague, but now they are more clear and defined.
