Now the Encyclopedia Britannica has changed to an online version. And of course it sometimes gets a little complicated and verbose, so it's easier to look up a short answer on Wiki. For everything else, there's Google.
How does Mom feel about her replacement-does she feel relief or disappointment at her enforced redundancy? My guess is that if you go to ask her, you'll find her in front of her computer, planning her retirement and consulting Google,
