Does it really gain something for human knowledge to add 1990s-style "multimedia" to everything? I had a version of Encarta with interactive doodads when growing up, but I don't think they added much to the encyclopedia.
- tomjen3 14y agoA fair number of the articles I have read have animated gifs to explain some concepts that are difficult to explain with just text. You can certainly make 'doodads' if you so desire but that is like saying that there is no use for books, because you can write a trivial sex novel.
