Favorite thing I read this week: “I bought the only physical encyclopedia still in print, and I regret nothing.”
I still have very clear memories of consulting our World Book volumes, stored in a glass bookcase in the hallway off the kitchen, for just about every school project from African elephants in elementary school to atomic theory in high school. I knew the World Book had a magic page in there somewhere to help me.
It’s only a matter of time before paper makes a full (even if ironic) comeback. The age of flash cards is not over yet!
Maybe sooner than I think. I did get an eye-rolling smile from Cece when she recounted her high school orientation day where departing seniors imparted lessons on the incoming freshman. A key lesson? Save your flash cards throughout the semester. The use of flash cards was a given. The tip was about flash card management!
