That the Encyclopedia Britannica is no longer going to be printed comes as no surprise to any person who’s remotely aware of the power and outreach the Internet really has. The question on many people’s lips actually seems to be “why has it taken so long?”. And the release of sites like Vifinition can but make you think how long will it be before people even remember how useful having a print encyclopedia was back in the day.
See, Vifinition is a video dictionary. People who use this site can submit their own video definitions for anything. And although the site is an “urban dictionary” (and most of the definitions that are featured are more on the humorous side than anything else), the potential something like this has when it comes to technical disciplines is just huge. Technological and biological processes could be described easier than ever before, and educators could make their classes more dynamic and (above everything) a lot more understandable.
We’ll see what happens. For the time being, Vifinition is as good an urban dictionary as you could ask for, with the videos being sure to bring a smile to your lips. You can see the ones that are better-ranked at a glance, and also check random vifinitions if you’re in the mood for that.
