According to the Wikimedia Foundation,
people will be able to order physical copies of Wikipedia — 7,471 volumes of Wikipedia articles, consisting of 700 pages each, or 5,244,111 pages in total.
However, you can order individual volumes for just $80, but, once a volume is printed it is immediately obsolete since Wikipedia is constantly been updated by millions of user around the world.
So, I ask: why the futile attempt to print? Was Wikipedia not established to ensure that we have constant access to updated information globally at the lowest cost possible?
