Class: Technical writers must be aware of intellectual property theft on many levels, and in different professions. As technology has advanced, these concerns have changed. While it is easy to find, and plagiarize, information, it is just as easy for an employer to verify the authenticity of your writing. I truly believe that technology is a great thing that enhances all of our lives, but there are responsibilities for all of us.
