Writing Homework 1

Then, find two example of what you would consider technical writing and two example of what you would consider non-technical writing and explain why you categorize them the way you did.

Technical:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/pizza-on-the-grill-i/detail.aspx

This is technical because it is a clear, concise set of instructions on how to grill a pizza.

http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/it/quantum-cryptography-cracked

This is technical because it is a clear and concise article about quantum cryptography being possibly cracked.

Non-Technical:

http://classicpoetryaloud.podomatic.com/entry/2007-07-26T01_14_34-07_00

I choose this as non technical because the poetry is often vague and open for interpretation.

http://www.reddit.com

I choose this as non technical because while the messages are sometimes clear and concise, they are extremely informal especially when taken in the full context of the responses.
