Define Technical Communication

Assign­ment: Define “tech­ni­cal com­mu­ni­ca­tion” using an anal­o­gy, in 20–30 words, as you would if explain­ing what you do at a cock­tail party.

Tech­ni­cal writ­ers are most­ly trans­la­tors. We take com­plex infor­ma­tion and explain it as clear­ly as pos­si­ble, avoid­ing jar­gon in favor of more com­mon­ly-used terms.
