The average life expectancy of someone in a nursing home is 2 - 3 years. This could be a huge leap forward in increasing the quality of life for the elderly, and I look forward to the tech that will be in place when I'm that old.

In that case, LE in the nursing home will decrease further, as the level of monitoring and direct care in the home improves and nursing homes become more for end-of-life care - care that still won't be provided in the home.

Bad plan - the whole appeal of Wikipedia is that the public can write something informative about relatively obscure topics - those topics would disappear. For example, Cleveland Clinic has a great entry because they're huge, but I wouldn't be able to create an informative article about an exceptional research hospital that's small and unknown. I doubt paid writers could handle even 5% of the material.

Perhaps because E.B. White is one of the best American writers of the 20th century. There's a reason Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little are still widely read after 50 years - he makes it look easy.
