There are many different uses for the things that we write. In technical writing, rather than using opinionated directions for the subject, the writing is made for users so as to be informative and descriptive allowing for accurate instructions when needed. There are many types of technical communication such as memos, emails, pamphlets, and other short forms. Most of these are used with the intention to be directed towards a targeted audience whether it be consumers, co-workers, or upper management, etc. They incorporate aspects of creative writing using worthwhile content, sensible organization, and effective visuals as just a few points that Lannon describes in Technical Communication.
