Encyclopaedia Britannica to stop printing
After 244 years, the Encyclopaedia Britannica is going out of print. In future, in an acknowledgment of the realities of the digital age - and of competition from the website Wikipedia - Encyclopaedia Britannica will focus primarily on its online encyclopedias and educational curriculum for schools. The last print version is the 32-volume 2010 edition.

It’s wrong step if it goes only to online edition, as still more than half of Globe population are computer illiterates, this step by Britannica will increase the gap between Information haves & Information have-nots much more.

It would be unforgotten encyclopedia for ever. Thanks to Britannica for serving so many years, but change is definite and only truth.
