College Assignments Are A Way to Promote Google

Our generation in this era hardly feels nothing is possible, internet has provided us with whatever we want. We get almost everything online. So i don't really understand why we still get so many assignments from college asking us to submit it at a particular date. Most of you must be doing this, we get our topics, we wait till the last two days,then go on the net search for the topics and copy-paste the info.Originality is a far fetched idea now with the projects we get. I feel colleges should at least give us topics which challenge us and make us write what we want for 2 pages or one page,rather than copying stuff for 4 pages. Its just stupid and a waste of time. And this in fact makes us exercise our mind, saves time and we feel satisfied at what we have done. I hate to copy paste stuff even though I am awesome at it. The topics we currently get hardly leaves any room for originality, I mean research is another thing, but I know students myself who have lifted off paragraphs from proper articles as it is. Why cant we get something which requires our opinions, our views, our own research?
