i). Apps alone can never replace websites. With Google focussing more and more on good mobile experience of a website, the future of apps look to be dark.
ii). For Apps, you need large amount of space in your phone. Even if you have installed 50-60 apps, it may be hectic to find one from the list.
iii). Even if websites would be there for long, I don't see Domainring to be there. Stricter laws may consider this as 'hoarding'. You may need a trade license, company registration to sell domains.
iv). If anybody does'nt uses a domain name for continuously 6 months, it would get deleted. Similar laws may follow.
Just my fears..!!
Apps will replace it is solid fact, the internet is dying. Thanks.
I think it'll be mostly the same. Apps won't be replacing domains anytime soon, if at all. Go try making one and you'll see the barrier to entry and if Apple doesn't like your app it doesn't go in the store. Sure you have Android but that's not the whole market and you're missing out on the other users. This is not the same as domains and websites with content. Nice try though to the wannabe trolls in this thread
With a domain and website you can have one online in 10 minutes with almost no barrier to stop you.
There are already numerous apps out there that don't have websites. No, one needs a website to provide content an app does the job perfectly.
but if i want to do some research, work, book a trip, etc - im using a computer - easier than scrolling through a micro screen and using my big thumbs to type on my micro keyboard on my phone, lol
The whole idea behind IoT is to have basically everything interconnected via the Internet, hence creating a digital mesh. Each of these things ranging from your smart fridge to your thermostat all need an address to exist on the internet. Usually, this is usually a string of numbers like 123.456.789.0 but how many people can remember that. This is why domain names were invented: To create simplicity for the internet's addressing system.Not sure about 10 years, but domains have had a good 25 years, can't see them having another 25 years.
Last 10 years the smartphone has changed how people view the net with apps and with Virtual and Augmented Reality around the corner, along with IoT ie. just about every device connected to the net in some shape or form, how we interact with the internet will change and domains will go the same way as cassette tapes/VHS's when cd's came out.
I agree with you. People talk about apps but what are apps without the internet. Save for a few utility apps, most apps still require the internet to function. From news app to game apps, the content is still on the internet. As for cloud storage, isn't that still over the internet?I think it'll be mostly the same. Apps won't be replacing domains anytime soon, if at all. Go try making one and you'll see the barrier to entry and if Apple doesn't like your app it doesn't go in the store.

Saying that apps are going to kill domain names or the Internet is ridiculous.
20 years ago, it was search engines that would make domain names obsolete.
The smart phone or the Internet have not killed phone numbers, that have been around for decades. Domain names are a bit like phone numbers infrastructure-wise, but they are brands too.
Evidence of change is already happening, rise of the smartphones in the last 10 years (apps)/rise of social media, some companies opting not to have their own website for business but social networking pages instead (Facebook/Instagram/YouTube/Twitter/LinkedIn).
Apps replace domains. Just read carefully next time before jumping to conclusions. There will be a central database to store in cloud where the app get's the info just no need for domains.
I really don't understand what you mean. JavaScript is built around the dot? What do you mean? I've been building websites for years and I don't have a clue what you're on about.Domains are here to stay imo.
When you get into javascript, the whole language is built around the "dot". The domain is just the first part of the "dom". It's really a part of a computer language.
I cannot see the syntax changing.
For the "dot" to go, the whole language would have to go.
