The importance of online social media is as important as the basic necessities of life for the millennial generation, according to a new survey by Cisco.
“One in three said the Internet was as important as air, water, food and shelter,” Cisco Senior Vice President Carlos Dominguez said.
Dominguez also said a majority of Internet users ignore company security policies or engage in other risky personal behaviors online.
Seven out of 10 employees worldwide admitted to breaking company policy with varying regularity, said the annual Cisco Connected World Technology Report.
