Britannica, watch out. Wikipedia's got your number. This 21st-century encyclopedia is free, online and edited by readers. Handling cash is oh-so-20thcentury. In fact, all jobs dealing with paper money, including bank tellers and toll booth operators, could be obsolete in two decades, as we rely more on credit and digital money.

If you want to stick with oldfashioned photography, better build your own darkroom. Your neighborhood photo store will be going digital, or going out of business.

No texto, há previsões a respeito
That big print set will pass into history, but the future it gives way to will be bright.
For 244 years, the thick volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica have stood on the shelves of
homes, libraries, and businesses everywhere, a source of enlightenment as well as comfort to
[3] their owners and users around the world.
They‘ve always been there. Year after year. Since 1768. Every. Singl e. Day.
But not forever.
[6] Today we‘ve announced that we will discontinue the 32-volume printed edition of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica when our current inventory is gone.
A momentous event? In some ways, yes; the set is, after all, nearly a quarter of a mil lennium
[9] old. But in a larger sense this is just another historical data point in the evolution of human
knowledge.
For one thing, the encyclopedia will live on—in bigger, more numerous, and more vibrant
[12] digital forms. And just as important, we the publishers are poised, in the digital era, to serve
knowledge and learning in new ways that go way beyond reference works. In fact, we already
do.
[15] We don‘t usually talk about ourselves on this blog, but today‘s news calls for some
amplification. For that we turn t o a few of our company‘s leaders, who will explain that today‘s
announcement represents as much a beginning as an end.
