Study probes web habits of office slackers :
"Cyberslacking is not a new phenomenon. In 2000 internet security company Surfcontrol estimated that every employee in Australia was taking the equivalent of a two-week cyber-holiday each year, costing the nation $22.5bn annually."
The article is actually about a study at Monash University and the sorts of web usage people have at work depending on their personality type. It actually found quite a few people use the web at work to inform themselves and learn things. One thing I don't get time for at work is net usage othr than withing the strict confines of work related needs. I'd love to be a cyberslacker! Trouble is , once you get a word like this, you try and make people fit the description. From my observation, the people I come into contact with haven't got time to play on the Net. Doesn't matter where you go, they are working...so maybe we need to know which jobs??
