*Scrap Book Syndrome: When hypertext "authors" do not create any ideas for themselves. They are so impressed by all the available resources on their topic that they splice them together in hopes that the quotes alone will make their point. This syndrome makes the user wonder, is there really any art in that? Are they valid "authors" if all they can do is assemble? If they were writing a physical paper or the like, would they even feel like they had the right to do that or that their work would be taken seriously? No. "And I think that the deep tendency of the circuited medium is to flatten language." source
