Surely the future value/worth of domains will depend on how surfers access websites.
In the beginning before search engines surfers typed in keyword domains because it was the only way they knew of getting to websites, that's what gave websites like Sex.com such value.
I'm not as optimistic about the future value of domain names as surfers typin domain names less and less as time goes on. With the proliferation of tablets & mobiles for internet surfing people are using apps more and more to access websites, 10 years ago that was the equivalent of clicking shortcut icons on your desktop.
If the majority of people are clicking shortcuts on their tablets or mobiles to access your site it makes little difference if you own Sex.com or Sex69US911hahaLOLROFL.com
As this trend continues IMO it almost makes having a top domain redundant in many ways
