but eventually as technology changes there will be no more .com or .net or whatever. the interconnections will be more intuitive. as you're more familiar with other things you'll use simpler abbreviations. like gfy. if i type gfy it in my browser it should know that i visit this site and those two (gfy and gofuckyourself.com) are related thus take me there. i suppose a lot of work has to take place in the browser/os/gui for this to happen. maybe even some ai stuff developed.

Actually, that doesn't sound like it would work, since the system needs to accommodate more and more names all the time, but "gfy" could just as easily stand for Ginny F. Yanks as for Go Fuck Yourself.
