so this technology is now easy and cheap..  I do believe any one can see what you are doing on the computer.  I think if you are blogging at work, you have to be really careful about properity information.  Maybe this is why computer communication will really never replace voice communication,  everything is recorded.  can you really every express what you are thinking.  I am doing nothing illegal, but i always feel a little parnoid on the web.
