Encyclopedias have really vanished today. Who reads it or use it,GOOGLE has taken its place. If you see today very few people will have an encyclopedia but most of them will have google cause its easier to use it but also spoils our eyesight. Each thing has its good and bad points and the bad point of google is it is addictive which also can make the students to stick with it and not do their homework, it is as useful as harmful....People should use google but also they should use the encyclopedia.
