Discussion: "Professional Communications"

Please respond to the following:

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.

1. 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.

2. Remember to get in early in the week to do your TestOut labs each week. Return to this discussion and read some of your classmates' posts. Post a reaction to classmates who have interesting posts.
