Do we always get the credit for what we create?

I am thinking about a simple issue. Could we really give the credit to everyone who produce something? For example, I am using Scoop.it to curate all kinds of resources. My collection and annotations, I believe, can help others under the topic "MOOC" better. Do I own a credit for my collection? I would not go that far. 

Then, I think one thing. Should we be given credit for creating our unique browser history? You know, it is very important to propose a new question. If I proposed one question which leads to a new idea, would I be given the credit for the new idea? Just curious.
