Cite your sources!

Citing sources and giving credit to authors has been causing quite some problems nowadays, some people suffer expulsions from universities and even fines of over $ 100,000. In our technology we’ve been assigned to research data that included pictures and to write citations to them using a certain format, this skill is pretty useful to learn in our world as we’ll need to use it in our jobs per example. In multiple classes including technology we’ve been taught how to research, how to filter information that we’re looking for using multiple researching engines.One example of an assignment we’ve had to teach us more about researching online was in technology class when we had to research magazines on a search engine named Ebsco host, we had to change the research settings to search for magazines only. We later had to cite our sources on a new document. It’s these type of skills that help us grow and survive into this modernised world that is starting to use more and more technology over the years. More schools should have technology classes that teach people how to research and cite sources as it’ll help them further in life. Multiple people have been charged fines for not citing their sources. Life right now depends on technology and if we don’t learn how to get used to it and survive in it, we won’t really succeed in it. Cite you sources! Mmmkay?
