Week 2

I am enjoying the blog aspect of class so far. I was a little nervous at first this being my first actual blogging attempt. I think I'm getting the hang of it. I have learned this week that there are many more aspects to technical communication than I previously realized. The need to analyze not only on a basic level but in depth analysis also of your target audience(discourse community) and the different levels i.e. primary and secondary. The detail needed to be an effective Technical communicator is astounding. It has also been a revelation as to just how many careers that can benefit from a strong understanding of technical communication. You can always imagine that large companies rely heavily on Technical communication but if you take today's technology advances into account , for example your average dairy farmer will have a need for good technical communication when he is dealing with vendors and buyers, and the company that provides his automated dairy equipment, and quality inspection of his milk.
