Communicating With Codes Are Computers Taking Over The Business World? raditional codes for communi- cating in business have been through the means of typing, using a pencil for shorthand, and keep- ing record books. However, students have begun to understand that comput- ers are taking the place of yesterdayis shorthand by hand to shorthand by computer. Business courses, such as COE SL BOE, used computers for word process- ing. Computers were also used in the accounting classes to teach the comput- erized data processing concepts as ap- sr plied to accounting. An electronic cal- culator, a ten-key adding machine, a spirit and stencil duplicator, and a mi- cro computer were just a few of the many different machines and comput- ers used in business machines. JET students learned that entrepre- neurship is people that take a risk to go into business and learned how to simu- late business offices. BOE students learned how to run a business in the class while COE stu- dents went out half a day to work in the business world. 'Q SSXBUSIDGSS ,.,pilP ' Business courses make up part of the day for senior Joyce Wasson. A big part of shorthand is writing letters as demonstrated by seniors William Fellows and Michelle Burton. i Students were offered a wide variety of business courses which were designed to provide meaningful and relevant skills for students who were interested in a business career. These business courses were also emphasizing the new technology of the computer and elec- tronic world. I believe that computers will make all of these skills easier and more accurate. These new skills will save time and moneyf' said senior Yvonne Rushing.
