Walter Block

Chapter 28 in Labor Economics from a Free Market Perspective:Employing the Unemployable, 2008, pp 373-379 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: AbstractOften, new technology brings in its train unprecedented problems. As far as computers, e-mail and the internet are concerned, this certainly holds true in many arenas. Bur there is one aspect of this new technology which does not present additional difficulties: cyber-slacking. The managerial challenges posed by employees using these amenities for job search, shopping sprees, personal relationships, in a word, general goofing off, have long ago already been overcome by employers. There is “nothing new under the sun” in at least this one dimension of the computer age.
