  The word encyclopedia instantly takes me back the college library with several of them around me just trying to find information on the history of Genghis Khan. 🙂

      My adult children have only seen them in the library. Soon they will only be seen in museums. 🙂

        My son’s first computer in the mid nineties came with Encarta Encyclopedia by Britannica, which is now a free download.
        
        He ask if I had a computer when I was growing up as a child. I laughed so hard he thought something was wrong.
        
        When I explain to him what an encyclopedia was, he never grasped the idea until I took him to the library. LOL!!

  I use a pen from time to time for a nostalgic feeling. Lately ,I have penned letters to family member using a quill and pen. I don’t think they notice. 🙂

Neither Mom nor Dad were college educated. They were however, pretty smart . We always had books and I can remember Mom reading to us at bedtime either from Mother Goose or from another of several different story books. In our small Pennsylvania town the grocery store offered a basic set of encyclopedias at a low price per piece with the purchase of a certain amount. I used those until the edges were worn and wish I still had them today. Thanks Mom and Dad.

  I think in the near future an original set of encyclopedias will only be found in a museum.
