When the web was young, millions of people have learned how to type www.example.com. People would often spell out the 'http://' on the radio.

No doubt, browsers could let people type fe80::1 and make it work.

It will take a while before people are used to the double colon, etc. But it also took a while before people where comfortable typing IPv4 addresses.

They could use AOL keywords, too, but they still advertised and used Web URLs.
