1 WHAT CAN BE IMPROVED IN THIS BOOK TECHNICAL WRITING 101 VS. TOO BIG TO KNOW Presentation by: Edber J. Bailon

2 WHAT TECHNICAL WRITING 101 SAYS: “Technical manuals should be concise, simple and easy to follow.” Perfect grammar is not necessary. You must be a good writer to create a technical manual.

3 WHAT TOO BIG TO KNOW SAYS: “Deep reading and thinking developed because of books” Should manuals be so simple? “Technology is changing the way we think” Do we still need to adhere to strict writing rules?

4 MY THOUGHTS FOR THE AUTHOR OF TECHNICAL WRITING 101 Short-simple manual section should indeed be provided for quick reference. It should not be the only manual available. A full manual that explains how and why a feature is included might make the interested reader eager to learn.

5 Both of these books help us improve our knowledge. What ideas can be improved by collaborating?
