I often wonder whether it is possible to stay ahead of the technology, considering the availability of resources of information in so many different forms and sources. It is easy to see how people would try to get around the system and have access to ideas and thoughts. By the same token, it is also possible to search and try to detect where words, phrases, sentences or whole paragraphs or even whole essays have been located that are not original but are plagiarised. Is it Dr. Murphy's view that this is a much greater problem than ever before? Is there a struggle to get to grips with it?
