Post #1: Meaning of Technical Writing to Me

The word technical can mean many things. When saying something is very technical, This means to me that there are numerous parts and pieces that can be meticulous and often take time and skill to understand.

I think that writing is the use of text to present a through from the writer. There can be different kinds of writing, but all have the center purpose of representing the writer's ideas. These two definitions put together can give you a definition along the lines of text that represents the ideas of the writer that are very precise to the skill of the writer. Which really doesn't make sense, so I use a different idea of technical writing. I believe that it is the collection of a variety of components that are pieced together or the lack there of by the writer to represent the writer's ideas.

I am a Biological Science major, and technical writing for me is more along the lines of lab reports and research papers. These are used to display the researchers findings and record them in a form that can be easily understood. As I enter the real world, technical writing will take on new meanings. The definition will always change. i hope to graduate Clemson and then go to medical school. Technical writing will once again take on a new meaning. During this summer I will be evolved with many different forms of technical writing. My mom told me to get a job this summer. So instead of looking for a boring job, I decided to start a company. Part of our selling techniques were to develop a website so that we could be easily reached and also, the purchasing method would be easier. I felt that the design of ShopCollegeComfort.com was a form of technical writing. My partner and I decided to keep the site as simple as possible. Along with many other decisions on what content to include on the page, the simplicity of the site was one aspect of technical writing that was important.

Technical writing will definitely be incorporated into my career after I hopefully get through med school.
