How big is the Web?

The first Google result is: http://www.worldwidewebsize.com/.

How big will the Web be in ten years?

I will make some assertions:

1) The measure of the size of the Web referenced above is not a useful measure.

2) The number of pages on the Web will shrink to a fraction of its current value.

3) The size of the Web will increase to many times its current value.

4) A single company will account for the majority of this growth. 

4 a) This company does not, today, exist.

4 b) A theory of the Web will provide the foundation for this growth.

4 c) It will become apparent that the Web exists for two purposes: i) to create quality of life, and, ii) to promote space exploration.
