Today's society has become integrated into technology. We have become a people of constant connection. Business men and women buried in their Blackberry phones, checking their e-mail, texting, and making a reminder not to miss the rescheduled meeting. Teenagers in high school hall ways texting till their fingers are numb. It is not just cell phones either. Computers are also a hugely big part of what has become an everyday part of the average American. We use our computer's to do endless tasks for us. We can connect with people we have never met, reconnect with lost friends, look for jobs, looking for houses, finding a new car, or even more. The possibilities are endless with technology and we will continue to push the boundaries of what we can achieve. The key thread that links the likes of mobile technologies like cell phones with the stationary technologies like desktop computers is the internet. It is the one invention that has changed the way we communicate on a fundamental level.
The reading I have been doing in the book has been a labor of love. Well, maybe not love, but of commitment. It is interesting but I still would prefer to read a novel of my choosing than a textbook for a course. Anyways, it was talking mostly about the different forms and ways that you can plagiarize. It is important to always be aware of what you are using and how you are using it. Accidental plagiarism is still plagiarism and is looked down upon in the writing community. Make sure to quote what you are wanting to quote, summarize the main points in your source, and always make sure to use proper citation.
