Encyclopaedia Britannica

First off here is a link to this article.

And basically it appears as though Encyclopaedia Britannica  will no longer print their volumes. I can't count the hours that I've poured over pages in a library learning how to do research (if its been that long you'd think I'd be better at it) and these were always my first stop. Then the internet became readily accessible. Even with technological advances I still prefer using books for research (although the wealth of knowledge to be found online is beyond comparison). I work in a tech industry and I feel as though the traditional book will never go away. But we are at a point where people are really going to have to show their support to keep it around.

Back in my day you had to read everything on paper!
