The inevitable... is just around the corner.
Sure, it will cause much inconvenience and hassle to some officers... maybe leading to decrease in productivity in some cases. But given how everything seems to be accessible online and in softcopy now, even leaving equipment and assets to be operated by automation and software; the recent hacking to Mindef database serves a timely reminder that cyber security is and will continue to be one of the most important defences we need to invest and faithfully partake in. The G has been educating the officers as well as devising work-arounds to the impending Internet Surfing Separation, with some officers even taking the lead to participate in the ISS trial - I have confidence we will get used to the separation sooner rather than later.
But whilst I still can access the internet using my office laptop, it really has been so much convenient, efficient and enjoyable. Printscreens, copy and paste, click on links, alt-tabs - come next week, these functions won't be as frequently used as before.
