[Hidden-tech] Articles on website longevity?

[Val Nelson]

I know I'm late to this conversation but I just saw it and it fascinates me.

What would replace the website, even two decades from now as Shel suggests?
Why would they go away? Smaller devices yes, but fade away? I agree with
Shel that social media can't replace a website.

And I find it hard to believe that search engines would ever be less
relevant. I agree that social is a critical factor but not a replacement.
People will always be curious about things about which they don't know who
to ask. If they seem to disappear, it will only be because search engines
are happening in the background somehow.

I too would be curious to see an article to back up these ideas. I like
thinking about the future.

Thanks
Val
