The Internet And Other Addictions

What is an addiction? For years we used to have a wrong idea about addiction, researches used to mean it as an abuse of substance such as drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. Nowadays we associate this word  with internet use, sex, gambling, cellphone use, shopping, travel, and etc. 

On theses days are more common people get addicted, especially young people, it is because the use of technology, young people expend more than 16 hours daily using a cellphone, there are others who expend more than ten hours surfing in internet or playing video games.

On the other hands, I consider myself as a cellphone addicted, I don't know if it is good or bad, but I cannot live without my phone, I carry it anywhere, anytime. I wake up with my phone, and I go to the bed with my phone, that means I use my phone the whole day, I am not sure if this is normal or not, the only thing I know if I cannot imagine a day without my phone.

UNIT 7, WORKPLACE PRIVACY

Unit 7: WorkPlace Privacy    As you may know in some  jobs you do not have privacy. Employers can usually search an employee's workspace, including their desk office or lockers. It does not sound far at all, but they can do that because they are the owners of everything you are using there. Some employees feel uncomfortable in their job areas because they are being monitoring, but the employer has the right to do it as long as the monitoring is not particulary invasive. Cmeras in bathrooms or in dressing areas are usually not allowed. In conslusion, even if welike it or not employers have the right to monitoring our activities, register the computer we are using, the emal and even the desk because those are their belonges.
