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!
I'd better get to work right away on building a wetware bot attack plan.
