What is Technical Writing?

Technical Writing
- The purpose of this type writing style is to inform the reader of something; the style should
further that purpose, not detract from it by trying to entertain, cajole, or confuse the reader.
Considering the number of people whose writing only impedes the reader, a few remarks on the
elementary techniques of writing clear prose might be worthwhile.
- Content created by technical writers has traditionally involved items such as "how-to" manuals, reference guides and corporate reports. The emergence of new technologies, trends and customs prompts us to expand the frame of reference that encompasses a technical writer's activities.
- There are also different types of Technical Writings:
a. Marketing Documents: Technical Writers write marketing documents such as brochure, case study, press release, product handbook, marketing script, advertising copy, white paper and data sheet. Generally the intended audience of such type of documentation is general
b.Reporting Documents: Technical Writers have skills to write different type of documents. Reporting documentation is one of the types of document. Reporting documents include magazine and newspaper articles, technical paper, annual report, and website.
c. Instructing Document: Intention of this type of document is to instruct to lay persons those don’t know the particular applications. Technical writers try to match the level of technical language with the audience’s level of proficiency while writing such type of documents. The documents include user manual, installation manual, glossary, training material, online tutorials, and quick start guides.
d. General Documents: This is a part of day today writing. The documents include resume, letter and more

4th Quarter Blog: Respiratory System

The Respiratory system, for me, is system that supplies the human with oxygen that also allows us to breath properly and function our body well. The respiratory system has 5 major components. The 5 are the following:
1. Lungs
2. Air sacs
3. Muscles
4. Upper and Lower Airways
5. Thoracic Cage
Each of these major parts help in contributing the process of breathing in our body. Without their supportive functions, we won't be able to sustain enough air we need for our body.
