Wow, Web 2.0 was an interesting video. In the last seconds it says, "We need to rethink copyright, authorship, governance... family, ourselves." I think this is very important, although this isn't the main idea behind the video, it's true. People can copy and paste anything from the Internet without citing who's words they are using. It amazes me that people who study and perfect their knowledge in certain areas can end up with no credit or recognition of their discoveries.
This affects our society because people are beginning to have no ethics when it comes to writing papers or researching. The next generation will have no need for "Works Cited" pages because there will be too much information for people to search through to see if students are using their own words or someone elses.
