Week 3: Why Geeks Should Write

Hello,

I am going to talk about why geeks should write. Assuming that "geeks" is referring to computer scientists or programmers in general, I would say that it is very important that "geeks' learn how to write.

To become a computer scientist it will require a lot of problem thinking and teamwork. A common view can be that computer scientists do not need writing skills because all they do is devolop and solve problems. But writing is really important for devoloping and solving problems.

Most of time computer scientists will be working in teams to work on a project. So it is very important that comments, and descriptions of code are very clear and precise. This will make the code a lot easier to understand to human devolopers. Computer scientists also have to be in constant communication through email, or writing letters which require a suffeciant amount of literacy skills to write and get your thoughts across. Computer scientists need writing skills in order to be in clear communication with their clients. This will help clear out any confusion or problems regarding the software they may be devoloping for their clients.

Besides the reasons provided writing is an important asset to have in order to show other that you are "well rounded" individual. As it is talked about in the follwing link: <http://smallbusiness.chron.com/importance-good-writing-skills-workplace-10931.html>

This is why I think that geeks should be able to write.
