Well, the world may become like that again, with the coming of IPv6. For machines that don't have dual IPv4/v6 capability (or even those that do, but can't necessarily reach all destinations with both protocols), special conventions may be required to reach certain sites. If you're on an IPv6-only system, you might have to use something like the SixXS gateway that I described earlier to get to an IPv4 site by appending the gateway name to the destination (e.g. http://www.yahoo.com.ipv6.sixxs.org). If you're on an IPv6 site but for some reason domain names aren't resolving, you might have to remember a more complicated IPv6 address such as http://[2001:610:240:0:a843::8] (the IPv6 address of www.ripe.net). So, during the transition time, there may yet arise a new breed of wizards whose magic bridges the old and new networks.
