# Technical Communication

### Abstract Details&#x20;

Abstracting out details in high level discussions refers to the practice of simplifying complex information or technical concepts to make them more easily understandable for a non-technical audience. This can be achieved by breaking down complex processes into simpler steps, using analogies or examples, and avoiding jargon or technical terms.

### Written and Visual Communication

Written and visual communication refers to the use of different types of media to convey technical information. This can include written documents such as technical manuals, user guides, and presentations, as well as visual aids such as diagrams, charts, and images. The use of visual aids can help to make technical information more accessible and easier to understand.

### Active Listening and Clear Communication

Listen, clarify, paraphrase refers to the importance of active listening and clear communication when discussing technical topics. This includes actively listening to the speaker, asking questions to clarify any confusion, and paraphrasing or summarizing information to ensure that it has been understood correctly. This can help to avoid misunderstandings and ensure that all parties are on the same page.
