1. Over the past 30 years, both employers' and employees' attitudes to work and working patterns have been shifting. These changes can be put down to the globalization of the economy, widespread developments in communication technology and the expansion of equal opportunities for women.

2. As a result of the globalized economy, there is intense competition for trade and service provision throughout the world. More than ever, workers in both developed and developing nations are recognizing the inevitable changes in their working environment, as they come into direct competition with each other for employment opportunities.

3. Additionally, with technological advances, businesses in distant countries can discuss and complete deals over the Internet without the need for international travel. As meetings can be held not only in the office but anywhere: at home, in a coffee shop or in an airport, the concept of the office as a unique centre for work has been challenged.

4. While the global economy and technological advances can account for some of the changing ideas of the workplace, another contributing factor is equal rights for women. Although large numbers of women have been employed in business and industry over the last century, they have also continued to be responsible for childcare and running the home. For this reason, they have traditionally worked part-time and have often needed to adapt their working hours to the demands of the family. To support this working pattern, a new law was passed in the UK in 2003, giving women with young children the right to request flexible working hours. Since then, further changes in equal rights legislation, allowing both men and women with families to apply for flexi-time, have encouraged a widespread revision of attitudes to the workplace.

1. Although it seems like the proliferation of spam - junk emails sent unsolicited to millions of people each day - is a recent problem, spam has been around as long as the Internet has. Despite technological innovations such as spam filters and even new legislation designed to combat spam, the problem will not go away easily.

2. [I] The reason spammers are difficult to stop is that spam is so cost effective. [II] It costs a spammer roughly one-hundredth of a cent to send spam. [III] This low rate gives spammers a tremendous incentive to continue sending out millions and millions of emails, even if the average person never purchases anything from them. [IV]

3. Most spam filters rely on a fairly primitive "fingerprinting" system. In this system, a program analyzes several typical spam messages and identifies common features in them. Any arriving emails that match these features are deleted. But the fingerprinting defense proves quite easy for spammers to defeat. Another spam stopper uses a proof system. With this system, a user must first verify that he or she is a person before the email is sent by solving a simple puzzle or answering a question. This system prevents automated spam systems from sending out mass emails since computers are often unable to pass the verification tests. So far, spammers have been unable to defeat proof systems, but most email users are reluctant to adopt these systems because they make sending emails inconvenient.

4. In some ways, the battles being fought over intrusive emails are very much an arms race. Computer engineers will continue to devise new and more sophisticated ways of blocking spam, while spammers will respond with innovations of their own. It is unfortunate that the casualties in this technological war will be average email users.
