What is the future of Wikipedia? Will it exist in 20 years? 50? 100?
What is the future of Wikipedia? Will it exist in 20 years? 50? 100?
Wikipedia must exist as long as it is in demand.
Many people search, use, process, and share information on the Internet.
It is the same principle that the act of buying books and making gossip with one's mouth came to modern times and only changed its form based on the Internet platform.
Our inherent desire to know new information will be the same after 10 years, 20 years, or 100 years. Of course the form can be different.
But as the Internet became available and more people were able to share information, the information we could share became wider and more. This will not change in the future and will rather expand.
It's sad news that fewer people are joining Wikipedia, but if measures are taken to prevent this phenomenon and many people are back on the website and activate it, Wiki is an online encyclopedia that will never disappear.
