Could be. My Mom has bought a computer and is online since that seems to be her only hope of getting her offspring to write in a timely fashion. It usually works too--techno-junkies the lot of us!
Computers enable someone to be more productive, but they also enable people to waste time on tasks that look like work, but do not add to the bottom line.
At an assignment I once had, I was tasked to produce briefing slides weekly summarizing the maintenance complex work from the past week, and current status of equipment. Everything had to be letter perfect and in the approved format. Prior to computers, this task had been done in felt tip pen on an overhead projector slide. Which method was productive and which was eyewash?
Is stating that a 'Vacuum Cleaner' approach is used, I would interpret that to indicate that electronic communications are being intercepted wholesale without the specific targeting that would be necessary to get a warrant. (The nice thing about such a metaphor is that it gives the impression of conveying information without providing anything concrete that someone could be prosecuted for)Can this be legal in a country with constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure?
