Are restrictions on copying and sharing information a problem for you?

Restrictions on copying and sharing information is not a problem for me, specifically, highly due to my field of expertise. I maintain proficiency in the field of information technology because it is a continually advancing ideal in the twenty-first century. So much so to the fact that it has been deemed the “Age of Information”. As we progress, we have to know and understand where our information comes from, if it is viable, if it is credible, and how to properly accredit its use. Many social media applications abuse the lack of credibility such as Instagram and Twitter, but others like SnapChat and Tumblr notify the author that you have “borrowed” their content. Having restrictions when it comes to the spread of information is a good thing, it promotes proper etiquette as well as “giving credit where credit is due”.
