I also don't think we'll get away from URLs - at least, not in the near future - but I wonder if we'll see them become less and less important.

It's simply...too useful. It's like street addresses. They're always going to be in the public consciousness. Just because we often say something like, "oh, it's the big yellow & green house near the corner of Dubois & Southport St", doesn't mean the number & street address is on its way out either.
