Since internet is like a huge community than expands all over the world, one obvious benefit from publishing works on the internet is to be accessible by other internet users then later, be recognizable. But if it is that easy to access plus the fact that we have such a smart search engine like Google, isn’t that easy as well to claim someone else’s original work their own work and take a full advantage of it?
When Goldsmith mentions, “CDs are dead” I totally agree with it. Though there are some people out there still use CDs (mostly for entertaining rather than for documentation) I think soon enough they will be extinct and be put in the museum for the next generation. Because when you think about it, the companies who used to sell the CD players or CD itself are now closed down, even the new laptops these days don’t have a CD drive anymore. So I’m assuming that the further technology goes, the more extinct CDs will become. What do you think about that??
