A Brave New World

As discussed on the clip you showed in class today here is a link, to George Stroumboulopolous's page on CBC.ca, telling of the announcement from Britannica that the 244 year old encyclopedia will be going out of print. The"Baby Boomers" will mourn the death of an, intellectual, era while the "Net Generation" just won't give a damn. As long as there are electronic currents powering their laptops, PCs, notepads, etc,  most would say, who needs the print version anyway?
