Wikipedia is forever.
This is an interesting line of discussion... Just what does everybody
think is likely to be the future of Wikipedia in ten, one hundred,
one thousand, ... years?
Barring a total catastropic collapse of civilization (and possibly
even then), it's likely that some copy of some portion of some
version of Wikipedia will survive somewhere, given its wide
dissemination. Such a thing will likely be an imporant resource for
future historians / archeologists / anthropologists / etc.
researching human culture of the early 21st century.
However, in such a scenario, the surviving Wikipedia would be merely
a "dead" historical document, albeit a massive one with many
alternative versions.
Or, is it the belief here that a "living" Wikipedia, still being
actively updated and open to such updates from the general public,
will continue to exist for centuries to come?
