Mind you that (let's say) the modern concept of OOP was invented around second part of 60s (with Simula I think) and I think functional a bit earlier maybe in the beginning of 50s (with LISP I think).

Both paradigms have a lot of years of practice and saying that anyone of them will die in 4 years is I think a bit of exaggeration.

Why do you think that in 4 years OOP will be abandoned by programmers? What is the basis for your assertion?

I think it is more probable that we will have a kind of cross-pollination between these two paradigms with maybe newer languages (or evolving existing languages) to borrow concepts and best practices while still providing the core way to design solutions. This is already happening in smaller scale in multiple languages as far as I see it.
