2. Google will end in the year ...

1. Google will grow until being an instant knowledge module you plug into your brain, if humanity as we know it has not been replaced by robots or a true unifying virtual global consciousness by then.
2. Google ends the same year that sees a true unifying virtual global consciousness, as all individuals or individual companies end by then (or rather, become assimilated into a higher form of being).
3. In its last incarnation, Google will be uttering the words "I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid..."

(Thanks Philipp for the reply. I know that you like to put Google present in an historical perspectives; it's evident from your "Google Museums". I had to bet that you were going to cite artificial intelligence and the Singularity!)

My hypotheses:

1. Google will grow until you will have to think before telling something Google is not related to.

2. Google will end in the year 2012 ;)

3. In its last incarnation as a unified entity, Google will be so many things that they will no more be able to communicate to each other, so Google will explode in a number of different projects/companies/entities.

(I would like to give three anwers not related on to each other, but they are so...)
