Wikipedia Faces a Generational Disconnect Crisis (ieee.org)

Wikipedia is a bulwark against the Great Forgetting. As such it is doomed, but the effort is worthwhile; whatever survives will be random. But that is its Job One and there are no spare resources for a Job Two. It can only go on as it has been. It has no other option except to just give up.


Wikipedia COULD be championing literacy. Its editor coalition is too concerned about holding power to focus on demand generation through education.
