At some time in the future and when a new paradigm for the user interface is conceived, we may not longer have the end user “typing” a URL, the DNS or something similar will still be in the background providing name to address mapping but there will be no more monetary value associated with it or that value will be transferred to something else.
We're already there. It's called "Google". In the the vast majority of cases I have seen, people don't type domain names, they search the web. When they do type a domain name, they usually type it into the Google search box. (Alternatively, they type everything into the browser's "address bar", which is really a "search-the-web bar" in most browsers.) (Replace "Google" with search engine of your choice.) -- Ben
