    Yes. You can see and record other peoples’ wireless internet browsing by capturing the packets using a packet sniffer, like WireShark. Google for more.

    If others have access to your wireless network, then you can’t stop them from packet sniffing, seeing as it’s passive surveillance – they’re just listening to the conversation your computer is having with the wireless router. However, you can make the "words" in the "conversation" sound like gibberish if you encrypt your connection. (For example, some websites, like Gmail and Facebook, have the option to use SSL encryption. Encrypting all your internet traffic is fairly complicated, Google for more.) You could also block them from getting onto your network in the first place by using a WPA2 password, and maybe even a MAC address whitelist.
