The Brentwood Gazette’s Weekly Teaser — 29-10-2014: ARPANET!

Hmm … That’s a bit odd … 

Did I tell you I’m job hunting at the moment?

And have to go into my local Job Centre, to search for work, online?

Well, I do.

And knew all about the planned digital makeover the government’s planning: a bit before the BBC.

Trouble is … ?

Well, the trouble is, it looks like the new computers — as the current ones I and others use to search for work — aren’t monitored.

Beyond the staff ‘having a chat’ if they see us using something like Facebook.

That’s … odd.

Given that — from the little I know — it’s easy for an IT team to deny access to things like FB, to groups of computers within an office?

Then it’s odd I could use the Job Centre machines to pay Facebook a quick visit, this morning.

Personally?   I think that’s an unfair benefit sanction waiting to happen … !
