Comparing the 4 Readings.


The 1st reading was about technical communication. It described the importance of technical communication in the current workforce. It is everywhere. This article stresses how mastering technical communication can be beneficial to anyone who plans on going into a job that involves the rapid growth in technology. Technical Communicators are important in my career choice. They provide the materials that make patients fell safer. The commercials that doctors use to advertise new age equipment and also, the equipment itself.

The 2nd reading described technical writers and the education needed to be a technical writer. It said that there was a difference between technical writers, copy writers, and authors. Technical writers make there writings simple, easy, and understandable. They deal a lot with instruction manuals. In comparison to the 1st reading it was more difficult to read because of the structure of the content. It would have been better to keep in simple and sweet, more like the 1st one. This really didn't relate to my field. It just gave me a better understanding of the difference between writers and technical writers. 

The 3rd reading Could not open. But I'm sure it was a lovely article.

The 4th reading was about ways to improve technical writing. It stresses 10 points. This article was extremely beneficial. Consistency is one thing that is very important. THe research is half the work, while the other half is presenting it in a fashion that makes the research valuable. Also, another main point is to avoid big words and jargon. Big words and excessive jargon can confuse your audience. A confused audience is just as good as no audience. This article shows the proper techniques need to effectively communicate with people in my career. All these techniques can relate and be beneficial to my future career. This was very different and represented technical writing more than the rest. Every suggestion it gave i felt like it did in the writing. I feel that a technical communicator wrote this article.
