The last exercise of the plagiarism workshop was a bit hard to do. It was easy to find three sources that were all talking about e-books, but it was not easy to blend them together without changing any words or adding in some transitions. What I came up with sounds a bit choppy. But do people who plagiarize really do so to this extent where they will refuse to even add in transition words here and there to try to make the sentences connect more?
What I came up with:
No technology, not even one as elegant as the book, lasts forever. Things are changing, that’s clear. The question is, at what pace will they continue to change? In November 2010, 6% of Americans reported owning an e-reader; the figure is now 19%, with females aged 30-49 years old the most represented group.
