Digital Big Brother

The 6-22-2014 StarTribune carried a front page article by Steve Lohr about digital big brother coming to our work: "Advanced technological tools are beginning to make it possible to measure and monitor employees as never  before, with the promise of fundamentally changing how we work--along with raising concerns about privacy and the specter of unchecked surveillance in the workplace.

All need to back off, and let us discuss and litigate and legislate as necessary to define about where the boundary line for no surveillance beyond that line. Let the debate commence now.
