My kids could use the computer freely because I trusted them. However, many parents install software to monitor their activity (spouses, for that matter).

And about your last point. Yes, maybe a quick check of this site rejuvenates you for the last couple hours of the afternoon, but what if that ends up killing the rest of the day?
Wasting away an afternoon on a website....I've never done that....
However, my boss has made it clear to us, we can answer our cells, and check our facebook and what not, just so long as our productivity doesn't go down.
This is one of the reasons i'm so surprised by the sudden Facebook blocking on our system.
The trust that the boss shows needs to be returned in respect from the employees.
