The entire
Wikipedia,
somtimes compared to
Asimov's
Encyclopedia Galactica,
also referred to by
Douglas Adams
as the ancient beurocratic losing competitor to the
Guide -
is like a single video casette on a shelf
of the
Google video collection industry.
A collection
Google themselves are daily busy
estimating and controlling its size.
To think Wikipedia is the future of the
true
Encyclopdia Galactica,
is denying that things like
Google,
Douglas Adams,
George Lucas,
Magrathea and
Galactic empires
can still exist long into the future.
Said
denial is simply
fear of shear
magnitude.
