Technical & Writing

Writing is any permanent way in which we share our ideas through language. It is completely separated from the other way we share language and ideas, which is through speaking, by its permanence. Words can be shared through conversation, but they are gone as soon as they are spoken. Even the memory of those involved can never be a perfect account of what was shared or discussed. Therefore, we write things down and there is a permanent record of those ideas and thoughts.

Technical is a terms that deals with mechanics. The technical aspects of any thing or subject are the elements, nuts and bolts, making it work. A technician is someone who knows those elements and also knows how to utilize them most efficiently to accomplish success.

It is because writing has a permanence to it that it is good to know the technical aspects of it. When recording words to be read and scrutinized by others for all time it is important to communicate effectively, clearly, and sometimes persuasively.
