wiki volume 1

Remember the days when you go to the library to refer to the encyclopedia that run from A to Z?

If you were to print out the ENTIRE wikipedia, how would it look like?

This dude decided to hit 'ctrl-p' over and over to produce this:

5000 pages of info

hmmm i wanna know about eggplant

Of course this can be viewed as a joke but it makes you appreciate the sheer amount of information that the internet brings to you on demand. The speed and ease of use is unheard of back in those days.

I fondly remember how my folks got us a set of encyclopedia back when I was in primary school. I would just take one out and read furiously. Remember the days where you go to the library to photocopy the stuff to plagiarize for your project? Now you can do it at such an efficient level. Just copy and paste.
