Blog # 1 Actual

Hello Everyone, hope that you are enjoying the class so far. It seems a bit overwhelming but I guess it's just the beginning... The first blog wants to discuss where in life have I seen that technology has a made a difference. I will begin that question by first asking where in the world have I seen technology make a huge difference? Technology has made a huge difference in every part of the world and with practically everything in the world. To narrow that subject down, lets talk about the business world, specifically the secretarial field. Technology has made a huge impact there. The reason you ask, because secretaries no longer have use a typewriter. It impacts everyone in a business office becuase it saves time and paper due to corrections and haivng to start all over with an old typewriter. Computer technology has made life much easier for a lot of people in the business world. Secretaries are now able to make graphs and charts due to the easy programs online. Technology is a good thing. It makes life so much easier in a stressed out and busy world.

Part 2:

Something significant that I learned in the first week of class.. Well, (This might be a little bit off) but I was stunned when I was reading the article on professional business letters and it said try not to use TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. I always thought of that greeting as professional. It now makes sense to me to address that person by formal name becuase it does show that you took time and used all resources to find out the name but I was just blown away. I always thought it was professional to use To whom it may concern. I realize it was the lazy way.... or the familiar way!!
