    Technical writing is a form of communication used in fields like business, science, and engineering to attain specific objectives. It differs from non-technical writing in that its purpose is solely to inform using a simple, direct style focused on factual and impersonal content. The key purposes of technical writing are to inform, analyze events and implications, and persuade or influence decisions, following basic principles like understanding the reader, knowing the report's purpose, and using an objective, correct format.
