Let's run with it though... you're going with the (I think fairly
sound) idea that the digital landscape will be very different 20 years
down the line... but why do you think that Wikipedia as a non-profit
wouldn't be a part of that?

Do you think it would be hopelessly superseded by brain implants that
give us access to all knowledge all of the time? Who's to say that
that knowledge wouldn't be provided by Wikipedia?
