Internet killed the Encyclopedia star

[masanf]

Who uses a computer without internet? Uh, when these commercials were made pretty much no private citizen had the internet. These are 2 fucking decades old.

[supermariosunshine64]

Now these sort of books are becoming more and more obsolete with Wikipedia being updated all the time.

[Cubehead666]

He got a B+ on that report.

"... a wiki encyclopedia appears !"

Then, Wikipedia was created.

woot, my very own "Key to the Information Age" =D

this makes my old Funk & Wagnalls encyclopedias look like....not the key to the Information Age!! lol xD

it's interesting that these companies either had no clue the internet was about to explode onto the public, or they knew Britannica's days were numbered and thus tried to sell as many as possible before that happened, hehe ;) yes, we once used typewriters, mimeograph machines, and encyclopedias. what a time to be alive!! =)

[PageTurner600]

Is there a recent phone number you can call to purchase this set? Is it even still be offered on toll free as it once was?

[DirtyTrick]

I just called the number. There was uncomfortable sobbing, then a gun shot on the other end of the line.
