Many of my peers might be thinking "what the hell is this??" The answer is 'an encyclopedia'. While this may seem pretty obvious to oldies, I think I speak for Generation Y, when I admit that I haven't used a physical encyclopedia since elementary school (and that's because I used to live in England and India, where old school practices are still hanging on for their lives).
That's right, despite writing numerous Political Science and Anthropology research papers, I have NEVER opened a densely packed, thousand page long encyclopedia. Although it scares me just to imagine, the wonderful world of google, wikipedia, and more hasn't always existed. How did our parents cope?? How were generations before us left with the daunting task of actually FLIPPING through pages? Just the thought gives me shivers...
