Use the Capella library and the Internet to research an event that, in your opinion, has had the largest impact on the workplace today.

• Describe why you believe the event you chose is significant.
• Discuss the event’s relation to current trends.
• Relate the event to a personal experience. This can be the experience of a friend, coworker, relative, or yourself.
