Blog assignment 1

Reading the article "Snooping Bosses" gives you a number of mixed, both positive and negative, feelings.

One of the first things that came on my mind in the introduction of the article was, it all depends on who you are. Are you a snooping boss or an employee?

If you are running a company you must look after your business. Of course you'll embrace all the existing and future possibilities if it means that you can protect your interests. Always good to try to be one step ahead....  The feeling is not that positive if you are "on the other side", iaw as an employee. Being monitored must provide a sense of persecution. In my own thinking, these types of surveillance will not be applied in Sweden with all personal laws etc, this is the US, but I know I'm wrong. We have this already and more will come.

Also, looking outside the business world and into the future, there could be areas where you would welcome surveillance. For example, in the future all babies will have chip in their arm and we'll have no more children being kidnapped!!
