One of the main topics for this week is professional communications. In the business world, this means email, technical writing, memos, and so on. Computer professionals must quickly disseminate internal information to employees about software and hardware issues that affect the organization, but may also have to craft documents that would go out to the company's customers.
- Search the internet for an article about how a company has notified customers about an issue that may have affected the customers.In a few sentences, discuss how you feel this may have sounded differently in an internal email.Is there anything that may have been the same?Post the link to the article with your comments about the article so your classmates can read more about it if they want to.
- Communication by device is much more popular than face-to-face. Find a new and unusual communication device that has either just been released or is in the crowdsourcing phase. Tell us what it is and include a demo. My example is the Cicret bracelet. It is a bracelet that projects your phone screen on your arm and allows you to use your arm as a touch screen. My understanding is it has some limited functionality on its own but its power comes from your cell phone that's in your purse or on the kitchen table. Here's the demo. https://cicret.com/wordpress/. I see conflicting info about whether it is out or not.
- Additional post option: You learned about grounding and proper grounding techniques this week.Have you ever talked with someone who has received an electric shock?Have you? Share your experiences with your classmates if you know something that may help them.
