Surfing While at Work

There are many people who just surf the internet for fun during work or use their email for other purposes then strictly work. An interesting survey shows that more than a quarter of employers have fired workers for misusing e-mail and one third have fired workers for misusing the Internet. In many cases the employees were accessing pornographic websites or other sites considered to be offensive. When it comes to emails there have been cases of employees being fired due to using curse language in their emails. In order to have everything under control many companies monitor their internet connections and as a matter of fact it has been said that 66% of companies monitor their Internet connections. In many cases companies do not even have to notify employees that their activity at the computer is monitored.

Sentry Bots in the Army

This year the army ordered sentry bots which will look like cars. You can view them like cars with machine guns, but what is really special about them is that they do not need a driver or anyone else to be inside the vehicle. This will make military missions a lot easier and implementing such machines on a massive scale would mean no risk of casualties. Those robots are called “Mobile Detection and Assessment and Response System” and their speed is up to 20 MPH and can run without refueling for 16 hours and this would allow plenty of time to do whatever the machine would be assigned to. Humans on the other hand would not probably be able to go without eating and drinking for sixteen hours and still be at peak efficiency.
