A question or two:

- How many of you spend the majority of your workday in front of a computer workstation connected to the Internet?

- How often do you use the Internet for work purposes? How often for non-work purposes (checking personal email, online banking, stock market trading, Facebook, etc.)?

- How often are you connected to a service (web site, or otherwise) that maintains a constant connection to an external server (Gmail Chat, AIM, Facebook, any web site that can update itself without your refreshing of the page)?

- Does your workplace have policies against using computers for personal endeavors? Do they enforce them? If so, have you "gotten caught" at some point?
