Wouldn't the dethroner of Google be some new technology which is not a search engine like Google but better at solving the original task of finding information on how to solve problems? Just like how iPad dethroned Windows PCs for average home user but not Mac because Windows had the monopoly and then an innovation destroyed MS in this space and not a competitor. I don't think Google dethrones Yahoo and AltaVista scenario will occur again.
