Comment on Why doesn't phones numbers have a "DNS" servet so we can just type in words like we do with the internet?

I laughed out loud when I read the title of this post. When I’m helping my customers with their domain DNS records, I always analogise DNS to “a phone book for the internet”. I love that we’ve come full circle and phone books are “DNS for the phone system” 😂 (also goddamn does this make me feel old 😭)

To be fair, phone books are far from common in the USA anymore, and DNS is a far more interacted with technology than old school caller id.
