Newsweek, by offering its publication on microfilm, sparked a microfilm revolution and within a few decades, libraries everywhere were storing large collections of newspapers and magazines on tiny microfilm collections. This allowing libraries to maintain large collections of historical documents in limited space and was the precursor to the current digital revolution, which saw micro-films replaced with (optical) disks, which were soon replaced by storage area networks.
