One way that the digital age is change the concept is by rarely ever having any sources cited. In many cases if you search for information on line on answer website they usually do not include a cite. This makes it seem as thought it is okay us to plagiarize when in actuality it is illegal. If someone were to over collaborate in their paper or research it would become hard to see if they are really plagiarizing because you wont be able to completely see one person work.
