Technical Communication - Introduction
Technical
Communication is a broad term which includes technical writing, instructional designing, graphics, website designing or any
form of communication which helps in communicating the technical information in a simpler way to the targeted user. This also
includes audio tapes, video films and micro clips.
There are various definitions of technical communication,
but I would liek to define technical communication as:
"Presenting the technical information in simplified
form for the targeted user."
The target user can be a technical specialist or a layperson.
You need to adjust the tone, style, and presentation accordingly.
There is a famous quote on communication which sums
up the meaning of communication, "Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk
beside me, and just be my friend." - Albert Camus.
Technology and its communication walk hand-in-hand.
And no doubt, Precision, quality, and usability is the motto!
