I always thought “Big Brother” was an Urban Legend, like Bigfoot. I was wrong. This person does exist, he is not a figment in my nightmares. I know this to be true because I met him. I am very frightened of him. I have a great deal of fear for myself and all of you!

He is a large, ominous, dark looming figure. He has beady, evil eyes and single horn atop his head. His breath is horrendous. He lurks over all of us knowing our secrets and searching for our vulnerabilities.

I met him this morning. He was monitoring my every keystroke on the computer. He followed me into cyberspace when I was on break. When I checked my FB acct, he did too. This “Big Brother” dude was able to see everything I posted – and even things others posted without my knowledge or approval. This beast was not welcome to be a “friend” on my social networking site, but he was there. Scrutinizing and judging.

This brings up many issues. How far should an employer go? I understand monitoring employee computer use, but is it ethical and fair to view their private accts? Trust issues arise – whats next, check my purse because it is sitting on a “company” desk?

I hope “Big Brother” enjoyed the email I sent to my mother this morning, and I all my friends posts.

I am very angry and feel violated, do I have the right to feel this way, or should I just chalk it up to what the world has come to.

I think there should be limits, I was at break, obviously this was clear, as I am sure “big Brother” has time stamps on the files I peruse, and why keep my page open long after I have left? All of these questions have be befuddled.

One last thing: Remember, our lives are not our own once we leave the sanctuary of our homes. You relinquish all privacy rights – be careful!!!
