Can I watch (Big Brother) people?

A user on my machine posed a question to me that I couldn't
answer:

Is it possible to watch what people are doing?  Not just (ps), but
what is being sent to their screens?

I tried doing 'tail -f /dev/tty??' on a tty that was doing something
but it doesn't work.

Is there a way of doing this?  I heard IBM mainframes can do this.

Can UNIX do it?  SHOULD unix do it?
