Introduction ^
On the other hand, it is more and more visible a smaller separation among the borders of the personal and professional life in the measure that the workers can enjoy, through these technologies, some personal time (sometimes very private time) during the working hours. However, simultaneously, they invade the home and the worker’s private life and so «the official working hours don’t mean anything when the work can be taken home to continue to be accomplished there, without any temporary limit»2. As ALAIN SUPIOT3 wrote, the new technologies are «creating new forms of subordination», defending that the worker must be entitled the right to disconnect, as the right to private life of the XXI century. The worker is entitled to be not (at least not permanently) online. He has a right to the disconnection, to effective rest. It is a technical disconnection that, like JEAN-EMMANUEL RAY4 wrote it is favorable for the company because the workers that don’t have a free time turn neither more productive, nor more faithful to the company.
