Plagiarism is easy these days, due to constant flow of
information across the web, the information velocity is so high that it would
be practically impossible to analyse it without software and tools. Google
handles more than 35 lacs queries per minute; we are forced to imaging how big
information tsunami is. Under such free flow of information, copy / paste has
become a common phenomenon.
Today teenagers don’t see plagiarism as a serious issue,
however more than 80% believe that this has increased due to wide spread
internet access.
We as Indians have always believed in original thinking;
however the seriousness of the same is up to every individual while he or she
creates any content.
We need to inculcate reading habit in younger generation
where they read, understand and implement, however when correct understand is
then upload to their brain, if we can make this happen I believe we shall
create a very knowledgeable future generation, cut and paste can help students
get through with exams but may block their overall growth.
I strongly believe that institutes and libraries should use
Plagiarism tools and ensure that content generated is original and students
understand the value of originality.
