Now let’s start our lesson. Is every still
alive?

Very good.
So, a technical definition is a definition in
technical communication describing or
explaining technical terminology. Technical
definitions are used to introduce the
vocabulary which makes communication in a
particular field or profession succinct and
unambiguous.

HTTP
computer programmers
WWW

The operational definition on the other

hand is the specific meaning of a word or
phrase given to it by the group of people who
use the word in their specific context. On the
other hand, operational definition is more on
the application of the word. In other words, it
is used in defining the terms of a process.
