I find children love to copy and build on other people's works. That's how many of us, maybe even all of us learn as children. It's unfortunate some parents don't teach children the difference between studying and replicating other people's work and plagiarism. A simple credit to the original author would have been ample, but then it probably would have meant no e-celebrity for the little girl.

Science + Media = Science Fiction Like most things science fiction, the science is there purely as a backdrop for what is a human interest story.
