What is technical writing? What are its different types and uses?
Technical writing is a type of writing where the author is writing about a particular subject that requires direction, instruction, or explanation. This style of writing has a very different purpose and different feature other than writing styles such as creative writing, academic writing or business writing. Technical writing deals with different types of documents and documentation, including reports and policy writing. There are different types of technical writing they are as follows:

Uses of Technical Writing:-

1.  Technical Writing for Instructing:

This type of Technical Writing is used to instruct people. For example, I bought a washing machine. It is new, and it is complex. Without any guidance or instruction, I am unable to use it. However, if I have a user manual, I can read and use the instructions to learn. Without any instructions, I am helpless. However, if the instructions are vague, I cannot understand them. Hence, I cannot use the manual. With instructions, we get to understand how something works. The use of Technical Writing for instructions is important.

2. Technical Writing for Communication:

Technical Writing makes smoother communication possible because it simplifies all the points. For example, we both are arguing over politics. You tell me that you really like the new candidate because he is a liberal and promises support to all the left’s agendas. However, I know nothing about politics. So you must explain it to me, in simple terms, what does the word “liberal” even mean? What does a liberal leader mean? What is the left?  Many people are unaware of the systems of knowledge. They cannot understand any jargon about a system because they never had a desire to get into anything. Hence, the uses of technical writing in this area are immense.

3. Technical Writing for arguing:

To make valid arguments is to have the ultimate power in your hand. Using Technical Knowledge in a simple manner makes your technical reports widely communicable. However, you must also make logical arguments. Every system works as long as its result supports the system’s key pillars; its truths. However, we should take logic and truth both into consideration.
