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

Privacy is the state of not being seen by others. In different companies employers are taking the option of putting cameras and others practices of monitoring what the emploees are doing during their worktime; like cameras in front of the bathrooms, even more into the bathrooms, eavesdropping on personal telephones conversations during the workday, and reading the incoming and out going e-mails. Many employers think that they have the right to keep an eye on to evaluate their emploees and care their business, but sometimes they are invading the emploees privacy and making them feel demeaned and disrespected. Many countries have a few safeguards to protect emploees' privacy, but most countries have no laws about workplace privacy.
