You say that it's absurd, but you haven't actually said why you regard it as absurd.

Of course, if I am right, the DNS will lose its value over time, and most people will get to Web sites and content via social networks and apps, or via Google (or whatever supersedes it in the competitive marketplace).
There's no mention in the article of why ordinary people are going to be put-off using domains to reach sites. Personally, I think I'll be able to cope with typing amazon instead of amazon.com YMMV.
