I would hate to work in an environment where my company told me what websites I could view or not. Obviously, some websites aren't meant for the office, but don't control my Internet usage. Gen Y has grown up on Web 2.0 and it is something that companies must adapt to in order to be successful.

If they block Facebook or whatever other site you'll find another thing to waste your time with. So blocking sites doesn't make any sense. There is always room for distraction.

We all know that personal calls should be kept to a minimum. So should Internet use. If you have an employee who is constantly on the phone talking to their friends etc... how do you handle that? Put restrictions on the phones as to the numbers they can dial out and block unrecognized incoming calls? Take away their cell phone? I don't think so. You let the employee know that their behavior is unacceptable and ask them to limit their own access. If it continues, you let them go. Just like you would if they were making an unacceptable amount of personal phone calls. Besides, there are ways to circumvent the blocks and restrictions.
