We can't dispute the fact that the advent of technology has played a great role in improving activities in the workplace. With the networking of the different PCs in companies, it has become easy to send a broadcast message to all staff at a time, and coupled with other sophisticated technology, coordinating and controlling multiple workers has become easier which has resulted in a high level of productivity and an increase in the staff to management relationships.

The main achievement of technology was that it made absolutely everything easier. It's easy and fast to do hard, complex calculations, it becomes possible to book things from home, it's possible to connect with friends, it's possible to buy things and trade with different parts of the world from your home or office, it's possible to work from your home to a different country. Many things became possible thanks to technology and it accelerated absolutely everything and every process in the world.

But then, the issue of workers' privacy and management compliance with work ethics has been of serious concern, and to a very large extent, it always appears as though most management has always used technology to the disadvantage of her staff. You find situations where CCTV cameras are mounted in most offices and privacy is denied to its peak. Most PCs used by staff are always under serious surveillance and sometimes, staff's don't even have a single knowledge that they are being monitored, and whenever they get a bit flimsy, their job is threatened.

It definitely affected work ethics. While modern technology reduces the privacy of workers, it increases the workforce by controlling what they do in the office or factory and it also saves a company from employees stealing things from them. While it affects workers privacy, companies don't care about that and the world favors rich (company owners).
