Monitoring Employee Net Usage

There are alarming reports and even more alarming reports from researchers across the world, defining the fact that net usage reduces employees productivity since at the time they are busy checking out amazons and ebays for cheaper deals... they probably are not doing their jobs at all, or maybe if all the time is spent on the job the productivity will go higher.

This confusion amazes me, I have seen in the past companies that I have worked for net usage being to banned to minimal, hmm...

I would like to ask a very personal and simple question to all the white collar researchers from so called great consulting companies as well as software firms is,

If statistics shows the efficiency is down, has withdrawing net usage improved or increased your productivity, if not there is a problem somewhere else check that first, solutions to such complex problems as employee efficiency might be a lot harder then just pulling the jack off.

Doing something ensures that the company believes
1) Employees are extremely lazy (why did you employ them, besides withdrawing won’t add to effcny)
2) They are irresponsible (buddy its 2005, I can't move ahead in my profession with amazon.com on my resume)
3) That employees can be at their peak performance through the 8-10-12 hour routines (don’t work for you wont work for me)
4) Security, Internal ones - if you are really developing some kind of a software to blow up united states, or maybe part of Japan, you need loads of security but if you are just making a web page with database links which has been done over a million types,.. You can’t call that intellectual property and keep tight loops on the internet communication, as we all know the guys who know it can reproduce it.

The whole point, ‘don’t just read understand’,things are not as simple as following summaries, or you might just have to change your point of view a few years latter at higher costs

B.L.A.C.K

B.L.A.C.K

The meaning of Black has changed for me, till now i could measure black as a color, a emotion that was strong.... never knew black could mean complete isolation from outside... and would begin a world which means nothing...

IN the hindi movie
'Black'
, a handicaped girl and her teacher are shown, both experiencing Black from within at some point of thier life, the handicaped girl is blind and deaf..so the world cant communicate to her..her esteemed teacher brings her out of the chaos within only to run into alchizemers.... losing memory of the past, unable to connect to the world..

B.L.A.C.K, probably one of the best movies i have ever seen, which actually touched a subject so sensitivly, the actors played their part, and for once i was lost in the movie not looking at the errors in production adn cinematography....

Amitabh, has proved he's worth as an actor, and the movie has for once given so many of them to play a part....
