I know you're quoting TS Eliot, but this for real. Just like MySpace, Digg, Cracked, and many similar sites, they will still exist for the longest time, but gradually evolve into an entirely unrecognizeable form. Then one day they'll all shut down, and people will react with "the what-it now" and "that's a name I've not heard in a long time."
