Tenner, E. "Rise of the plagiosphere." Technology Review. 108.6. 76.
"Emerging technologies are causing a shift in our mental ecology, one that will turn our culture into the plagiosphere, a closing frontier of ideas." (76)
"What NASA did to our conception of the planet, Web-based technologies are beginning to do to our understanding of our written thoughts. We look at our ideas with less wonder, and with a greater sense that others have already noted what we're seeing for the first time." (76)
"Some universities are encouraging students to precheck their papers and drafts against the emerging plagiosphere." "The concept of the biosphere exposed our environmental fragility; the emergence of the plagiosphere perhaps represents our textual impasse."
Copernicus - "deprived us of our centrality in the cosmos."
Darwin - "our uniqueness in the biosphere, but at least they left us the illusion of the originality of our words. Soon that, too, will be gone." (76)
