Reasons why selected countries might be on the wrong side of the digital divide:
• The have little internet usage per capita
• They host very few websites.
• Compared to the whole population very few people own mobiles and computers.
• Internet usage per capita is very low.
• Large areas of the countries don’t even have electricity.
1) The advantages the content monitoring system has for the estate agency is that, they can keep an eye and monitor there employees every move and action, ensuring there employees do not seek other work and are working up to an acceptable level.
2) The negative impact this system has on the organisation is it may cause people to leave the estate agents and seek other work because they feel they are being spied on constantly.
3) The advantage it has for the employees is that if they aren’t working up to standard there employer will know and help them where they are going wrong.
4) The system potentially has no problems for an employee who uses his or her computer just for business purposes, apart from the fact that if they use a keyword such as salary in there emails they could be delayed due to been read and checked by the IT manager.
5) The system should be used but not to the extent of the way it is described in the article, I believe this is over the top and would put potential and existing employees off.
