I mean, Wikipedia probably wouldn't survive if the internet disappeared.
huh? you can torrent a snapshot of the whole thing, and people all over the world do.
in a post-internet world there will be lots of wikipedias. it would be really nice if they manage to fix their data model to use a DVCS before the collapse, to make it easier to do merges between the different forks, but even if they don't... wikipedia will live on.
