Martijn This makes me sad, I have always wanted a full-on encyclopaedia. These kids aren't even sure how to use them. youtube.com/watch?...

Eric Weren't these kids taught how to use an index or even a contents page? Even without this I would have thought using an encyclopaedia is pretty common sense.. Shoot me down if that comes off patronising, but cmon, these books are designed to be self explanatory by nature.

Martijn To be honest, most of them are younger than me (at 23 y.o.), and even I was thought to use Microsoft Encarta at primary school. I am not sure they actually had big encyclopaedias, I basically know them from my grandparents. However, I would know how to use them. These teens seem to be discovering how it works (i.e. much like a dictionary) during the video, so they are self explanatory, it just takes a while. When Britannica announced they were doing their last run I was extremely tempted to get it, but it was way above my book budget. Now I'll probably never own one.
