Good Technical Writers in high-tech firms ask two questions about their readers:
i. How much do they know about my subject?
ii. How interested will they be in reading what I have written?
Readers will know a little about the subject, a lot, or something in between. Readers may be uninterested, very interested or somewhere in between, but to keep the readers interest, the technical writer must feel the readers’ response ‘and control the tone and content of the subject.
