According to a study conducted in 2010, about 39% companies blocked employees access to Facebook. They think some employees spend their entire day sitting glued to Facebook, up dating and commenting, which has a negative effect on their work. However, their banning isn’t widely accepted. Some reasons are listed why employees should be allowed access to Facebook.
First, they think it’s essential to take a break after working for hours. Employees may beworking hard to find a particular solution, but cannot come up with anything. Browsing(浏览)through Facebook can help them get inspired to find solutions in a different way and be successfulat it.
Blocking access to Facebook means that the employer doesn’t trust the employees. People are dissatisfied with the company if they’re not allowed access to Facebook. In order to keep people productive, it’s essential that they are kept happy. Therefore, allowing access to Facebook means that the employees are given a certain amount of freedom and bear responsibility for their actions.
Today many companies have pages on Facebook which they use for spreading news and something about products. If Facebook pages are blocked in an office, how will employees like or share something from the company page? Employees can also interact with each other through Facebook. It creates a sense of bonding and they get along well with each other. Keeping in touch through Facebook helps in strengthening their relations.
As far as I’m concerned, whether an organization should ban Facebook depends largely onfactors like its culture, type of work, Internet policy, business goals, etc. As far as the employees are concerned, most of them will be in support of allowing access to Facebook. With the advantages, there are potential disadvantages and the organization should always give preference to the option which will work in its best interest.

The transition from old fuels to new will be slow, as will the development of new technologies that present feasible alternatives to fossil fuels or help eliminate food and water problems. All current technologies are inadequate, and new ones will probably not be commercially possible by 2025
