Reading the comments (I love that the years are written as 02002) this one particularly strikes me..

"...The net works differently than that... and Content owners have missed (and will continue to miss) it for 3 reasons: 1) Technophobia coupled with crippling ego (too cool to look dumb they fear the pipe) 2) Misguided content protectionism (go back and watch 'The Power of Myth'... again! It's the 'story' damnit!) ..."

This is 8 years old (and proven somewhat wrong), and we're still saying it, in some form today.

    Will Google be around?

    I think it will be more interesting to see if Google 
    will be around in five years? Or better yet will we 
    still be searching for information using search engines 
    and keywords?

Very interesting.

Well, they are still here and thriving, and we still search for information, Mainly on search engines (Wikipedia is one, right?) and keywords.
