Social networking at work: Gen Y thinks it's a birthright, Boomers frown on it, and Gen Xers are stuck in the middle. NPR has a great story about this clash of generations over appropriate use of technology in the workplace.

I'm curious to hear what you think. How much of your time at work is yours to spend however you like? Is that time your employer's or yours? Do you buy the argument that social networking is appropriate "business development," or is it mostly goofing off with your friends? Please share your thoughts!
