Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Technology is an aid to interpersonal communication, not a replacement for it. Technology can't think for you or communicate for you, and if you lack some essential skills, technology can't fill in the gaps.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Inappropriate web use not only distracts employees but also exposes employers to lawsuits for sexual harassment, if inappropriate images are displayed in the workplace. With all of these technologies, the best solution lies in developing and enforcing clear policies for all employees. Many jobs require access to electronic devices like computers and using the Internet.
