Wikipedia kills the encyclopaedia

In the days of my youth, we didn't have “the Internet” to just go and Google stuff. Back then, it was either go to the library (yes, that funny place with books), or if you were lucky enough, you had a an encyclopaedia set at home. Those days are long gone.

According to a report by Media Decoder, after 244 years of doing business, Encyclopaedia Britannica has announced that it is going to stop  the printers - all thanks to the Internet, specifically Wikipedia. I'm kind of surprised it actually took so long, seeing that print media has been more or less "dead" for quite a while.
