Technology has the capacity to translate the skill of a practitioner into something that could not exist without it, expanding on the realm of plausible intent (Olsen et al., 2009).

Thus, employers must establish and develop acceptable use policies that will serve to educate and inform employees about the acceptable use of workplace computers and technology. Restricting Workplace Computer Usage The use of technology and the Internet, in the workplace, offers many new opportunities for businesses. The use of technology and the internet allows many companies to reduce operating costs and expenses, to increase communication with employees and customers, and allows employees to perform their jobs more effectively and efficiently. The establishment of a site on the internet also enables companies to operate on a larger scale and easily expand product lines. However, in addition to using the Internet for work-related purposes, employees are also using the Internet for personal use, whether for sending personal e-mail messages, playing computer games, downloading pornography, shopping online, checking stock prices, or gambling.
Work Breakdown Structure Claudio Gamez Colorado Technical University Project Management Theory Maurice Ivy November 3, 2009 Work Breakdown Structure Project managers have a lot of responsibility when managing projects that there are certain things that need to be done in order to help the manager breakdown the work that needs to be done. One these tools are a Work Breakdown Structure also referred to as a WBS. A WBS is defined as a “chart in which the critical work elements, called tasks, of a project are illustrated to portray their relationships to each other and to the project as a whole” (Tech Target, 2009).
