I used to think of people who didn't remember Jack Kennedy as being really young. Then it was Bobby and Martin Luther King. Then Nixon. Now there are adults walking around out there who barely remember Ronald Reagan as President, let alone the shock of his going from being a joke to being President in the first place. Before you know it, it'll be Clinton.

So I gathered. Ironic really. Libraries still use microfiche and microfilm extensively. It will probably be around for another half century at least.

The kid probably doesn't even know where the library is. He goes home and boots up his CPU for all the world's knowledge.

Thank God comics were not reprinted on those microfilm spools.
