  1. What this cartoon shows is exactly what I thought when I first heard about the idea of printing the whole Wikipedia. Are all the people in underdeveloped countries that have no access to telephone -let alone the Internet- supposed to understand English? From my point of view, the Wikipedia -and all the ‘wikis’ around it- is one of the most exciting and promising initiatives that have taken place in the Internet in the last few years, but taking it offline makes no sense at all.
