fare thee well, britannica


According to one journalist, this means Wikipedia wins.
Technology wins.
Traditional research loses.

How do we as readers feel about this?

I, for one, mourn the loss of a literary tradition.
And, frankly, I fear for the future of our collection of knowledge.
Call me a Romantic, but Wikipedia is just not going to cut it.
Goodbye books, hello Internet.  Welcome, e-reader generation!
Fare thee well, Britannica.
