The Importance of Technical Writing
• Whether you are trying to develop a manual for your new business or write a
proposal to obtain a grant, technical writing is a necessity.
• The emergence of technical writing as an important tool began with the boom
of science and engineering, followed by a rise of military technologies during
World War II and the Cold War era. More recently, the computer boom of the
late-twentieth century necessitated people who could communicate and write
about digital matters.
• As we have moved from the industrial age to the information age, and as
work and day-to-day lives rely ever more heavily on technology, the need for
transforming complex systems into simple processes underscores the
importance of technical writing.
• While computers have simplified tasks in the workplace, in some cases they
have also resulted in a workforce that lacks writing skills. In the workplace,
technical research must be understandable to the public, investors and even
governments for opportunities to receive a grant.
• Funders, investors and grant providers do not accept the slang and
abbreviations used in emails in considering proposals for fund allocation;
rather, they expect qualified applicants who have the ability to express
themselves clearly and convince others of the benefits of their projects
