Assignment 1 Discussion: Communicating with Technology

Assignment 1 Discussion: Communicating with Technology

Describe in detail at least three instances during the course of an average week that you are required to organize, calculate, and interpret numeric data. If your average week does not generally include organizing numerical data, you may need to be creative with this part of the discussion! For each of the instances you describe, explain how the use of different technology tools might make these tasks easier and more accurate. Provide multiple examples of technology tools including:

• portable devices (cell phones, pocket calculators, tablets), desktop computers, computer networks

Discuss any ethical, legal, and security implications of using technology to create and share numerical data.

Use properly documented sources from this course or other valid outside resources to justify, support, and expand on your response.

By the due date assigned, post your initial response of at least 150 words to the Discussion Area. Each of your follow-up responses should be at least 50 words. Through the end of the module, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.
