Hi Adam, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Have I interpreted your blog correct, that app's will influence the way people use to visit website.

Won't this have a negative impact on us domainers, when people just "point"/click on an app instead of typing the domain name?

How will this affect the domain name prices? Does this not mean that the value of domain names will decrease?

No - of course not - But NOT having a MOBILE version is going to cost you HUGE traffic. There will always be home PC'S , Web Tv's ( again ) and libraries and schools that will still use computers, so Domains will make a difference.

No - I don't think so, Think of ATMS ( money ) They are "apps" that get you to your money '

How will this affect the domain name prices? Does this not mean that the value of domain names will decrease?

Increase I would say
