What does the word technical mean? To me, the word is definitely multifaceted, obviously having to do with technology, computers, electronics, information systems, artificial intelligence, but also meaning something that is in-depth, concise, with many details, complicated, representing the progress of humankind.
Communication, in comparison to technical, seems to be a much simpler thing. One small idea comes to my mind when thinking about what communication is, words. Words in so many forms- handwritten, telegraphed, e-mailed, typed, spoken, signed, digitally recorded, sang, and in any language. Communication is personal, customized to connect two people.
Technical communication involves connecting the technical things in the world with the people who live in it, spanning many forms of communication.
I would like to be a translator of sorts between different groups using the technical communication skills I learn in my courses and work at USF. I want to go beyond the world of computers and microchips to connect those who would otherwise be anonymous and/or unknown to one another through the careful use of words.
