Let’s be real here. The vast majority of social media posts, emails, and articles supposedly written by conscious human beings have flooded the network. Call it convenience – dare I say laziness – but the issue at hand is not ownership itself. Rather, it is the unprecedented reformatting and rewiring of our brains. Constant exposure and temptation are to blame; however, the true perpetrators are we the users.

“Quite the bold statement, dear author. How dare you accuse us of such misdemeanours. The audacity!”

The truth hurts, doesn’t it? The focus of my argument is that even if you did actually formulate a piece of writing, unbeknownst to you, your writing endeavours have been altered to such a degree, they lack any visible trait of human emotion or gradual development, and is instead strictly presented in binary contrasts.
