Porn Sites Total 1.6 Million

(San Diego, CA) According to a study by Websense Inc., pornography websites have grown from 88,000 in 2000 to about 1,600,000 in 2004, more than a 17-fold increase. A major reason has been the growth in technology and, according to Harold Kester, chief technology officer of Websense,

"Offering employees unlimited broadband connectivity and access to streaming video is the equivalent of installing an adult theater on each desktop."

It's estimated that 37 percent of Internet-enabled workers have visited porn websites. I'll go out on a limb and guess that not all those visits were work-related.
