as time passed and man progseed these signs became more sophisticated and instruments for writing were developed. Cuneiform script came into existence and it was used in different cities to record variety of information such as temple activities, business and trade. Eventually it was also used to write stories, myths and personal letters. It is debated that writing systems were developed in four major civilization : lndus valley in Ancient lndia, Chinese, Mesopotamian, and Egyptian independently but around the same time. (Daniels & Bright,1996)
As man evolved, so did writing. greeks developed the earlist ways of writing which is quite similiar to the modern writing system. they used to write with metal stylus on wax-coated tablets. the invention and use of ink by Chinese took writing ti new heigts. advancement in tecnologies altered what was written and how it was produced. during the golden age of islam, Arabic script was peminently used everywhere and it became one of the world's standard script. by the end of 16th century old Roman and Greek letters were transformed into twenty-six alphabets letters, as we know today.

Writing in Education
Formal education played a significant role in bringing the writing to masses. This changed the nature of writing and evolved into the form we know now.

Writing is considered a very powerful learning tool and plays a very crucial role in our education. It helps us discover new information, ideas, evaluate our thoughts and opinions. Writing is broadly divided into fiction and non-fiction.
Fiction is a kind of writing that deals with ideas or events that are imaginary or theoretical whereas non-fiction is a kind of writing that is based on facts and information. Major types of non-fiction literature are essays, journals, memoirs, technical documentation/writing, scientific papers, travel books, blue prints and user manuals.

What is technical writing?
Technical writing is a kind of non-fiction writing it is used for technical communication and is often associated with help files, procedure and user manuals. one of the important uses of technical writing is step-by-step explanation of how to do things, for example. assemble a machine repair, something, routine maintenance, recipe to make something. It focuses on
simplifying something which is complex. It can be said that technical writing involves creating useful documents that can be clearly understood by the readers good technical writing presents useful information in a way that is easily understood by the users.
The origin of technical writing can be traced back to Geoffrey Chaucer who wrote “Treatise of Astrolabe” the first technical writing in English Language. This treatise is considered the oldest work in English describing a complex scientific instrument. This document is admired for its clarity in explaining difficult concepts (North, 1988).
technical writing as a discipline came into existence around the world war 1 due to the growing need in technology-based documentation. In 1953, the society of technical writers and the association of technical writers and editors were setup to improve the Practice of technical writing. Later these two organizations merged and formed society of technical communication. The golden age of technical writing started with invention of computers and the need for help files for the laymen (Alred, et al, 2006)
