Ctr+C + Ctrl+V =Report


In the heights of pessimism begun the usual pondering that I do quite regularly. This time I was thinking about the skills that I had gained at IIT, rather was trying to think of any skill that I gained at IIT. After draining all the energy that my brain head, I came down to one thing - Report making. If I rephrase than I would say that the only skill that I had gained here is that of a very efficient plagiarising. So irrespective of the fact that I know anything about the topic or not or I have done any work in the concerned area or not,I am capable of making a decent account of the knowledge gained or work done in the area. Windows have provided many shortcuts but the only ones that I had used quite frequently are Ctrl C, Ctrl V and off course if the pasting has not been correct than Ctrl Z. An exhaustive number of presentations and reports had been made by me over these four years which if not directly then definitely were inspired by someone Else's presentation who in some other part of the world (this thing I always make sure that I don't copy anything from the content produced in India) had uploaded it for others use and boy I am the one making optimum use of it. A researcher sitting in US would have never thought that his research work that had earned him accolades and his PhD. is being modified slightly and shown by someone here in one of the colleges in India in one of the humanities course for a term paper of as small weightage as 10%. Definitely had he known this he would have burned his thesis to ashes or the google servers which would have stored the link that could crawl to the concerned page.
This habit of copying things from some other source has become so deep rooted that when I started thinking of any original content that I wrote, I could think only of my blog entries (believe me, all content posted here is original). I questioned myself whether I am capable of writing any original content, straight came the answer - No. This thing is not restricted to me only, rather whole campus is plagued my it. The so called best brains are efficiently using it to create plagiarised material. If someone says that I have finished with writing the report immediately comes the question - "kahan se teepi (from where have you copied), can you please send it to me too". Though all material is available in books too and if searched can be a better source for making a report but unfortunately the luxury of Ctrl C , Ctrl V is not available in this option. It is always said that google had simplified everyones life, I don't know about others but it has definitely done it for us at least. You just need to know few searching tricks and have good searching skills and these are enough to produce a report of highest quality in a time frame as short as your reading speed (If you bother to read). I was just wondering how difficult it would have been to make so many reports, before larry page and sergey brin invented google. Or it is after google that the number of reports demanded from students increased. Whatever the case may be, originality is totally lost in this whole report making saga. I am glad that my blogs might be biased but are not plagiarised so can boast of one original content. But I was never admitted to IIT for writing blogs rather was admitted for gaining technical skills and I can't think of any original content written in any technical field. It is time which will tell whether the act that I have quoted qualify as a skill or will lead me to some problems. Till than cut copy paste rules.
So when was the last time you created an original content......................................
