Internet and the workplace
|
|
With the emergence of the internet and recent high speed connections
becoming available to the public, the internet has altered the way
many people work in significant ways. Contrary to the traditional
9-5 workday where employees commute to and from work, the internet
has allowed greater flexibility both in terms of working hours and
work location. Today, many employees work from home by
"telecommuting".
The internet and the advent of blogs has given employees a forum
from which to voice their opinions about their jobs, employers and
co-workers, creating a massive amount of information and data on
work that is currently being collected by the Worklifewizard.org
project run by Harvard Law School's Labor & Worklife Program |
Some countries, such as Iran and the People's Republic of China,
restrict what people in their countries can see on the Internet,
especially unwanted political and religious content. Censorship is
sometimes done through government controlled censoring filters, or
by means of law or culture, making the propagation of targeted
materials extremely hard. However, many internet users are able to
bypass these filters, meaning that most Internet content is
available regardless of where one is in the world, so long as one
has the technical skill and means of connecting to it.
In the Western world, it is Germany that has the highest rate of
censorship, especially of Nazis. However, most countries in the
Western world do not force Internet Service Providers to block
sites.
There are a large number of programs available that will block what
are deemed to be offensive sites (such as pornographic or violent)
on individual computers or networks.
Some believe that US educational institutions are especially known
for censoring content. One controversial Social networking website,
MySpace.com, has been blocked by many American school districts
because of its use by child abusers and other illegal activity. |
