Gov Workers Into Online Sex, Gambling, Games.

It cannot be a surprise what a recent US government report says about their employees.

They indulge in online excesses such as gambling, cyber-sex, and computer game sites.

How shocking. How normal. Do you see what using a Windows computer at work can lead to?

Using Windows is just the tip of the addictive circle of life for computer users who go online.

Just as drug addicts often start with something simple and easy to obtain, like chewing gum or marijuana, the road to future addictions is the destiny for many PC users.

It’s just a matter of time before the Windows-using employee in the government office has drifted into sin after sin online.

Most experts agree that online addiction starts innocently enough. A Windows user will become frustrated with the many Blue Screens of Death, and grow tired of constant reboots.

There’s lost productivity waiting constantly for the latest anti-virus scan or spyware scan to complete. Productivity takes a back seat to human nature.

Once their PC is running again, the employee is no longer interested in doing computer related work, even though they’re paid by the government.

That situation is known as Online Diversion Dilemma, or, the well known O.D.D behavior of Windows users. Employees will use their PCs at work, but need it to be a pleasurable experience.

Windows usage is anything but pleasurable so employees start scouring the internet for something to do; anything that will calm nerves, add excitement to the day, or bring a moment of comfort to a drab and dreary existence.

That’s when the dangers of the internet will hook our Windows brothers and sisters. At first it’s just a quick visit to Playboy.com during lunch, then online poker, but the dirty habit grows.

In just weeks, what were once good employees, the pride of the American work force, will have turned to a life of online crime, gambling, pornography viewing, and abuse of government equipment.

A recent report from the Department of Interior’s Inspector General said online abuse of computers running Windows costs the government over $2-billion a year.

While that’s a fraction of the cost of running Windows on government computers, it is a substantial amount.

Some reports estimate that 95.5-percent of all government computers use Microsoft’s ubiquitous Windows operating system.

Another report says that 95.5 percent of all government workers have an online addiction of one kind or another, or many addictions, ranging from mild to serious.

Government workers who use Apple’s Macintosh computers during their jobs are said to be virtually immune from the online virus of hedonistic behavior which infects Windows users.

Agencies monitoring government workers use specially developed spyware applications to track online computer behavior of Windows users.

Macintosh computers are immune to spyware applications.

Do government employees who use Macintosh computers make better workers? The answer is a fully qualified yes.

In a recent survey, 100 Mac users in the US government were asked if they were better employees than workers using Windows PCs.

A stunning 100 percent said yes, Mac usage made them more productive, more valuable workers than Windows users, which should put them in line for greater pay raises and higher benefits.
