Examples of technical writing

There are many examples of technical writing. Two examples that stand out to me most are: memos and manuals. These two stand out to me because they are both generally very short and concise. These two forms of writing generally try to make things very straight forward for their readers. When reading a manual or a memo, there is much less bulk. When trying to convey a message, is getting to the point in a quick manner is important. Because if you don't, you can lose your audiences' attention fairly quickly.

When I think of a form of writing that is not directly related to technical writing, I generally think of novels or poems. Obviously, these are forms of writing are very different from one another. Novels typically are longer and very descriptive, while poems are generally short and less informative. I usually associate reading a novel or writing a poem as a hobby, or something you would do in your leisure time. Technical writing is generally known to be much more professional, and useful in the workforce. I believe that that is the main barrier when trying to differentiate between these two forms of writing.
