Encyclopedias

Encyclopedias, while not on the same scale as newspapers, are greatly influenced by the recent trend of internet news. While Print newspapers are impoverished,understaffed, and grammatically incorrect, encyclopedias have been made obsolete entirely. There seems to be absolutely no yes for them anymore. Public schools usually will not allow students to cite from them, which causes students to shy away from referencing ans encyclopedia for assignments. Hardly anybody even reads them at all anymore, meaning that nobody buys them anymore, which also means that it is increasingly difficult to get rid of a set of encyclopedia's. They are large, bulky, and take up a ton of space, which is exactly what the internet is not. The internet allows for instant access to information, is portable, easily accessed, and takes up no physical space, safe for whichever console is used to access it. It is no wonder that encyclopedias are left behind, the internet has truly replaced them.
