Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of technical description, exploring its definition, examples, and potential topics for writing. Participants seek clarity on what constitutes a technical description and how to approach selecting a topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant defines technical description as a specification of an object, detailing the necessary technical information for user understanding.
  • Another participant suggests that a technical description includes an overview, specifications, and sometimes design elements, depending on its purpose.
  • A further contribution proposes including background information and fundamental theories related to the topic, cautioning that complexity can increase quickly.
  • A later reply indicates a decision to write about flexible keyboards as a chosen topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the components of a technical description, but there is no consensus on specific examples or the best approach to selecting a topic.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the audience's familiarity with technical descriptions and the complexity of topics are present but not explicitly stated.

technical description.
I want to know what exactly is technical description?
Any example, and recommendation on what topic I should choose?

Just a bit about technical description, and I can choose my own one. ATM, I am very confused.

Thank you

Basically, a technical description is specification of the object. You go into all the technical details a user would need to know to use the device. http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/notebooks/laptop-latitude-z/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-latitude-z&s=bsd&cs=04&~ck=mn&dgc=IR&cid=dellhp&lid=bn2&ref=hbn <- the technical description is a combination of the overview (what the device does), the specs (what it consists of), and occasionally the design (what makes it shiny.) It depends a bit on what the purpose of the technical description is.

Continuing what story645 said, you can include
Background - a brief history of computers, and a description of typical use
Fundamentals - equations or thories that govern the computers, such as electicity or binary code. Careful with this section,
computers are complex and you can quickly get in over your head
 
Hi, thank you very much.
I decided to write about those flexible keyboards.
Thanks ^^"
