The "content" of Wikipedia, like malaria, is here to stay. It's been copied so many times by now, that nothing can eradicate it. Wikipedia itself however probably won't live more than ten more years at the most :)
In twenty years, we will live inside the matrix 24-7 with constant streaming implants so there won't be an "Internet" per se, and computing power will be distributed all-wetware-all-the-time. After all any million step computation can be done one step at a time by a million neurons, you don't even have to be in a waking state. Hey that's gives me an idea!
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Do you think it would be hopelessly superseded by brain implants that give us access to all knowledge all of the time?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?
