What is the Internet doing to our brains?
I strongly agree that the Internet is changing the way our brains work, and how we remembered the information. In the past before the Internet was created; individuals needed to read entire books or articles to find the information they needed. They spend hours reading to be able to find the answers they were looking for. The more time people spend reading, the longer they remember the stuff they read.
I think that the distractions of the Internet interfere with the way we process information of how memory consolidation is converting short-term memory to long-term memory. In the first place, we are thinking more like computers, taking the information from the Internet, but not retain it. Not only but, now with a quick search on Google; the Internet gives us the answer. We quickly read it not allowing enough time for our brain to process the information. As a matter of fact, it is store in the short-term memory where it is lost, and we will not remember it for long. As the same time, If we Google a question many options will appear on the browser that we only take a quick glance at it. Therefore, we don't take the time focus on one thing long enough to allow our brain to remember it. If we take thirty minutes to read a website it is most likely to store this information in our long-term memory. After all, we all use the Internet the same way.

Copyright and Fair Use
My understanding about copyright and fair use is that anything a person creates or writes it is their right to decide; who is allow to use it and when they will use it. The more a person allows other to share their work and the copyright with others; they will have the right to earn some type of gains. It is just a fair use for individuals to let others use their work even though they have the copyright.
The copyright makes people own the intellectual property of what they created. Some individuals earn some type of profit, and some others just share their copyright. Teachers need to be aware of the copyrights and fair use during classroom activities. Teachers need to make only one copy per student, but not more than that.

What is Plagiarism?
In
my understanding plagiarism is copying someone else work and don't give them
credit for it. It means you take the words someone else wrote and make it your
own. Plagiarism usually happens when students write an English paper, and they take the information provided on a website, or on a book and don't change the
words. Any person who copies exactly as it is written in the book, a paper, or website
and don't site the proper source can be in trouble for plagiarism of copying someone
else’s work.
Plagiarism can happen in various ways not only by writing the English papers.
Plagiarism can be in any type of writing assignment or even using someone's else computer codes or mathematical expressions. When a person decides to use someone's else words; they need to use quotation marks and references. Any time a person decides to use quotation marks only 20 or 25 words are used in the quotation marks.
