I had a set of encyclopedias before the internet… They were 20 years older than me though and it wasn’t until I was at least 10 or so probably before I started consulting them for school… Lol
Yep. I was in elementary school in the 80s, so, of course, all of their encyclopedias were from the early 70s and had all kinds of out-of-date information.
Wikipedia may be untrustworthy at times, but at least they try to keep things up to date if there’s a major change- like a country no longer exists- the encyclopedias and our globe both showed Vietnam as a divided country.

Wikipedia updates to use the past tense within seconds of a celebrity death, I trust them to keep up with most stuff.
