Recreating is in a human’s nature. Authors, artist, musicians, scientist for example have been inspired from other works that have come before them. This inspiration gives birth to new creation; almost in the same way a parent gives their child DNA to form the makeup of a new person. Hauptman believes it is necessary to give credit to the source of inspiration which causes new creations. The same way our last names are carried on to carry on our family’s origins. Now with keeping this idea of origins, leaving traces to lead back to the origin is not simple. Bugeja & Dimitrova, write about the difficulty in the reliability of footnotes. Footnote’s sources become altered, and leave a dead end. Giving credit is the responsibility of the creator, to truly understand the real creation is to know of its source.

 The Hauptman article, discusses the reasons for documentation.  I think two of the more important reasons for documentation are for acknowledgement and attribution. It is important to acknowledge where you retrieved a certain idea and to attribute it to its creator. In the Bugeja & Dimitrova article, they discuss research in which they try to determine that factors that affect online footnote/citation permanence. Many of the factors have to do with updates and restructuring that lose footnotes in the process. In the example of footnotes that link out to other pages, if the URL is too long, someone creates a new folder to place similar content and produces a failed footnote. It would make more senses to leave a footnote unchanged but over time it can turn out unusable because the web page might be heavily changed or deleted altogether.

Google ! Our friend? Our Enemy ? Our Poison Our Medicine? Google for years have been the only place that I could find information it was the only platform for me to gain insight But now, New sites and places have been brought to my attention its sort of like being introduced to new foods and new places EBSCO and Jstor though it holds more dense and broad information it is more reliable and legitimate information   than you’ll find on Google if doing research . it is an great tool to use if your on the path for information that will be the meat and bones of a paper instead of a Wikipedia anybody written outlook on things

I have Trouble any time I hear the word research . No im not afraid of research im afraid of bad research and the information that tags along with it . bad research is deeper than having a lower grade in a course bad research can result in a domino effect of bad pasted information . your bad research could result in multiple failures in scholarly aspects and in the new knowledge aspect. one example of bad research would be an Wikipedia  page on the (M.o.m.a) written by non reliable source and the information taken from there spread over as the facts when it is not always certified
