After 244 Years, Encyclopaedia Britannica Stops the Presses - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • In an acknowledgment of the realities of the digital age — and of competition from the Web site Wikipedia — Encyclopaedia Britannica will focus primarily on its online encyclopedias and educational curriculum for schools.

Anything worth discussing in life is worth getting more than one point of view.”
