the year is 2122 and all the "good" (short, memorable) DNS names are owned by ghosts. in the grim dark future, there is only joe_smith_from_minneapolis_born_2055.com


Underscores aren't technically valid in URLs or domain names ;D

That minor implementation detail aside... You make a good point. Perhaps MD5 or SHA256 hashes will become a last resort for domain names? Haha, no.


Or maybe UUIDs...and the typical printed representation of those uses hyphens, which are valid in domain names ;)


DNSv6 will emerge and replace the old DNS system
