In the article “In a new world of informational abundance, content curation is a new kind of authorship” by Maria Popova I found a quote that particularly interested me that said, “Finding a way to acknowledge content curation and information discovery as a form of creative labor, and to codify this acknowledgement, is the next frontier in how we think about “intellectual property” in the information age.” The reason this quote caught my attention is because when people choose to post “content” on twitter they are not always the curator and it is not particularly easier to know who was the originally person. Also, when you choose to share tweets or pictures there is a chance someone did it before you which means that you are copying something that someone else already has done. What about those who made the content? They should be getting the credit but how do you know who started it. Most people also look at platforms such as twitter and use it as a time waster no one really care about giving credit where credit is due or who said this first. Those who produce content should be getting the credit they deserve. For example, if you are a detective and you solve a case wouldn’t you want the credit for that because you found the evidence you put all the facts together and you were able to come up with a conclusion. All in people should be able to get credit for the work they create online.
