This time i am not writing about any new gadget but rather than an I am raising a voice against actions practiced in almost all offices which clearly violates our lot of social rights...
Okay cool down guys i am not discussing serious politics here,but you got to listen to this little story.I am normal tech savy guy of present 3G world who likes to keep posting my little details for my friends and also checking their activities in face book and twitter.Add to this i also like to follow various other techie and some of my fav actors,authors tweets and their updates.So despite having very hectic schedule i do take little time in my office hours for such activities....
Now from quite some time,my office has been following strict IT policy and blocking various websites.Now i sit next to IT manager.Checking facebook and tweets is just like taking a sip of coffee for me.But credit to eagle eyes of my IT manager who must have noticed this,i found to my surprise a couple of days back both sites were banned....................
This obviously was not meant to stop me from my freedom...freedom of expression that i feel while doing same in my social website..I restored to using proxy servers to check my stuff.I even tell how to bypass the firewall some of my colleagues thereby becomes a favorites of not so technical people in my office,
Now another question came up in my mind,why blocking of websites is a common practice in corporates these days.The following can be the reasons that i can figure out
a.)It results in lapse of concentration.
b)We waste our time resulting in decreasing in productivity.
c)Leakage of official information
The third one is an absurd excuse and for the first two are we not the grown ups to not to do things that affect our performances.May be i am more disturbed in not allowing to do what i feel like to do.It's a sort of practice corporates like to follow ,may be they want us into Machines away from social hullabulla.
