Answer:
Following are the parameters you need to be kept in mind while comparing technical and non-technical writing.

In technical writing, feelings and thoughts of writer must NOT be included.

In technical writing, writer must be aware of the scope of the document he is writing.
  • Needs Of Reader
Writer must understand the needs of reader he is writing document for. For example, Writer must tell the reader, this is our product, you need this product because....... and it will be very much beneficial to you because of ........ etc.
  • Organize Document
Technical document must be well organized. It MUST have a proper opening, body and conclusion.

A technical document must be concise and comprehensive.
