Who Said That?

Content is worth more than the device, except when the device controls the content.

I stumbled on this while going through my journal, and I had to search the internet to see if it was something I typed or if it was cut and pasted. Then I realized this is the new reality of text: since it's never fixed it is sometimes difficult to trace its source, even if it's something you've written. More than a few times I have found blocks of text in books that could have been completely plagiarized. The new normal is quasi-Grangerizing or Bowdlerizing, or planned "homage" through Remix. (I was suspicious, because anything that rhymes is something somebody already thought of.)

You can use it because I'm not sure who said it, or if it had this arrangement of words.
