Should you be allowed to surf the Web at work?  Why or why not?

Students’ answers will vary. 

Surfing the Web at work is a controversial issue. 

Certainly surfing the Web at work can be viewed as wasting company time and money and should be limited. 

On the other hand, employees need to be able to redirect their minds to something other than their work and come back to it with a fresh thought process. 

The biggest issue becomes which Web sites are employees viewing.
