When used at the beginning of a sentence, this word is a variety of the 'filler' word basically. Another direct replacement for technically is essentially. Maybe the speaker sees his or her own bad speech patterns and recycles these three words while speaking. Filler words add absolutely nothing to the sentence being spoken. Other filler words include like, just, and stuff and y'know, but they tend to be in the middle of or at the end of a sentence. Filler words are rarely used in writing and are part of acquired speech habits.

A GLA (Global Liberation Army) owned vehicle in Command and Conquer (Zero Hour). It has a mounted machine gun on the back of the vehicle. The technical can upgrade its weaponry by salvaging enemy parts and by purchasing armor piercing bullets at the black market. It can also hold up to 5 troops, making it an effective transport vehicle. However, unlike the USA Humvee, the troops cannot fire out of the vehicle while they are inside. They must be evacuated before they can fire upon enemy units. RTS pro gamers use this versatile vehicle to pwn noobs because we pro gamers got the micro.
