	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Computer surveillance
		Computer surveillance is the act of surveilling people's computer activity without their knowledge, by accessing the computer itself.
		Surveillance may be covert (without their knowledge) or overt (surveillance cameras with flashing reminders and monitors to remind all that they are being watched.
		Computers can generate models of users in two different ways: Implicitly, by monitoring the user's behavior while accomplishing a task, or explicitly, through the use of "strategic probes" that ask the user to specify his/her preferences or give examples of how something should be done correctly.

	Howstuffworks "How Workplace Surveillance Works"
		The growing number of employers who are monitoring their employees' activities is a result of the low cost of the monitoring technology, a growing percentage of employees using their computers for personal use and an increase in employees leaking sensitive company information.
		Computers leave behind a trail of bread crumbs that can provide employers with all the information they could possibly need about an employee's computer-related activities.
		Computer surveillance is by far the primary method of monitoring employee activity.

	Eva Jettmar: Surveillance in HCI
		Computers can generate models of users in two different ways: Implicitly, by monitoring the user's behavior while accomplishing a task, or explicitly, through the use of "strategic probes" that ask the user to specify his/her preferences or give examples of how something should be done correctly.
		When a computer monitors how cleverly (or dumb) you act while solving a problem or whether you feel relaxed or distressed, it can be argued that this is similar to situations when other people observe you to determine how skilled you are at solving the problem, or to find out how you feel.
		For the opinion a human holds about a computer, this could mean that the unpleasant feelings of distress which computer surveillance causes could be sufficient for people to automatically infer other negative traits about the same computer, such as ascribing lower performance to it, or simply liking it less.

		Analysts of computerized surveillance in the workplace have tended to focus on the latter, neglecting the social characteristics of privacy as a small group phenomenon.
		Computer surveillance threatens to undermine the social character of privacy in the workplace by providing a technological means to reify large areas of social interaction and distort the small group processes by which individual and group workplace privacy is negotiated.

	New book explores impact of computer surveillance
		Gilliom, a surveillance and privacy expert, set out to take a deeper look at how computer surveillance measures are impacting Americans by examining a group that knows what it’s like to have almost every aspect of their lives monitored: welfare recipients.
		Using a massive computer network that sweeps state and federal databases for Social Security numbers and other identifying information, the government tracks figures one might expect in the welfare system, including household income and expenses; the ages, names and Social Security numbers of children; savings and checking accounts and marital status.
		Welfare recipients are just one example; surveillance is becoming a bigger issue for all Americans, he argued, at a time when workplace drug testing, monitoring of e-mail and Internet use and, most recently, airport security measures are becoming the norm in our society.

	Schulman -- Computer and Internet Surveillance in the Workplace: Rough Notes
		But it can't catch them viewing porn that they've already downloaded to their computer, nor can it see how much time they waste playing games off a CD ROM (unless the game "phones home" over the network), nor could it see them copy company secrets to a floppy disk, or polish their resume in Word.
		Because the surveillance occurs right on "your" PC -- actually, it's not literally surveillance at this point, just logging of your activities to a file or database, for later perusal -- rather than on a central server, it is obvious that more of your activities can be monitored than from a network-based program.
		The phrases "employee monitoring" and "workplace surveillance" evoke Orwellian images of Big Brother sitting at a central computer console, watching everything his employees do at their computers -- every keystroke or mouse click, every email message, every web page -- and responding to "inappropriate" usage the moment it happens.
