Social networking and the medical practice.

摘要

Surveys show that 35 percent of American adults have a profile on a social networking site. Seventy-five percent of Facebook users admit to checking their Facebook at work, on company time and company-owned equipment. In 2004, more than 10 percent of employees spent more than half of a day on email (86 percent of which is personal), and more than one in five employers (21 percent) had employee email and instant messages subpoenaed in the course of a lawsuit or regulatory investigation. One hundred percent of information placed on the Web is never really "erased" completely (Pew Internet Project, 2008).
