I thought the laugh tracks were really interesting. Laugh tracks do, I believe, what I think they should do, make people laugh when it laughs. I often found myself laughing at something that wasn’t funny at all, just because the laugh tracks “told me” to. I’m pretty sure that its almost the same with everyone who watches a show with laugh tracks. Take Friends for example, something might not make any sense (like a mad lib.) but everyone was laughing and you find yourself laughing just the same as everyone else. Now that someone has pointed it out, I actually find it kind of annoying. I will laugh when I want to laugh, I don’t need a laugh track to tell me something is funny.
Plagiarism is without a doubt more common these days now that we have more technology. It is so easy to just copy and paste someone else’s words into my paper. Before, all my had were books and journals that we had to use as sources for our papers, but with the internet it makes it so much easier to just copy and paste. Having a book really forced you to write your own research paper. However, I feel you have to be really skilled to have get away with plagiarism too. There are so many ways to check and see if someone has plagiarized. An example of this is turnitin. com. As far as I know, this website is very accurate when it comes to finding plagiarized pieces and I know that I would never want to find out just how accurate it is.
