CTRL - C & CTRL - V


These are two most forbidden but most sought after words in a B-School atleast. Give it a thought and then analyze, is it really a crime to copy-paste???

You remember those most irritating words : “tere is dost ko dekh, uske kitne ache number aa rahe hai …kuch sikhta kyun nahi hai usse” …. Isnt it an early version of mild copy-paste in your life.

Then suddenly someday Ur Grandmother says that “Ekdam apne Paapa pe gaya hai..."…Unknowingly U have adopted the copy-paste funda or rather U had no alternative then to paste what was asked to copy ??? Hmm Bolo Bolo Tell Tell.

When choices were being made on choosing Professional career, decisions in many houses are just taken by saying….”Look how successful XYZ is, Beta I think (when they mean U have to) you should try this”

Anu Malik copy- pasted, he earned millions.

We adopt western culture and a lot of money is sanctioned by Govt. for the same, how different is it than Copy-Pasting.

Yes, I feel nothing is bad in Ctrl-C & Ctrl-V … There is no need at all to re-invent the wheel every time, use the available resources and then build on it. Yes, but it would be a shame if one just merely copy-paste someone else’s creation and add under his belt. So please acknowledge the source, try to build on the base… if we are able to do this I am sure conception of Tower of Knowledge would not be mere a dream.
