ENCYCLOPAEDIA
Working as a computer instructor for an adult education program at a community college, I am keenly aware of the gap in the computer knowledge between my younger and older students. This was confirmed the day a new student walked into our library area and glanced at the encyclopaedia volumes stacked on a bookshelf.
"What are all these books?" he asked.
Somewhat surprised, I replied that they were encyclopaedias.
His response told it all.
"Really?" he said, "Someone printed out the whole thing?"
