COPY-PASTE Technology Swarms Martech Blogspot

Copy-Paste Technology has recently been an ideal avenue for some Martech people. It is a convenient way to posting blogs, without even reading the content of the damn blog. We know that such technology is utilized whenever you see any of the following: advertisements are posted along with the blog, or when the blog is too long, or when the blog contains information that is totally irrelevant to the subject of the blog itself.

As we have discussed on the first day of class, blogs are evaluated based on quality and content, with a maximum of 250 words. Of course, if we simply copy and paste somebody else's ideas, not only are we violating copyright laws (which is a criminal violation, thereby making the offender, if found guilty, a CRIMINAL), but we also show to the rest of the world that we Filipinos have a bad habit of not using enough of our brain. I hope that the Copy-Paste Technology would be a thing of the past for our purposes, and that past offenders will remedy their CRIMINAL ACT by editing their blogs. Rest assured that such blogs will forever be deleted from the archives of this blogsite by February 14, so that future generations will never know how careless we are. Happy Valentine's Day to all!!!

Good day! Excuse for the ads on earlier post. I have tried editing the actual article, but I just consider it essential for some of my colleagues to read what I consider are important details of the report. Technology has been very essential in the shipping industry - and most of today's technology depends on satellites, from communications, weather information, navigation,etc., even safety itself. It has even become the avenue for maritime education nowadays - that most of our young cadets and officers are trained and developed within this context. I am just making a point in where, what if all these machines bug down , can they run the ship and survive at sea? Maybe our older peers would have something to say to that. I will try to make a shorter post next time.

in a follow up discussion, technology is always on its toes, sometimes if we edit the arcticle and pass the article to the group we might give the wrong signal or information to the rest of our colleagues, thus i would rather hear their opinions in the present article, if these technologies would be possible in our country, but sad to say, only a few would comment on the articles i've posted. however, we will try not edit our postings as not have any legal battle in the futture.

Hello everybody!
I share Ed's and Batel's comments.
It is better to present the original idea plus a wee little of our own, if any. Somebody might
accuse us of unsolicited or worse,
unauthorized editing. Hopefully, sir, pliagiarism does not apply if
the text is somewhat changed and considered our own? We do not want this.
