Non-memorability is an annoying problem for IPv6. The IP internet seems to depend on some degree of manual configuration, which requires identifying numerical IP addresses. It's puzzling that the IETF hasn't recommended a human-memorable, word-based scheme for prefixes, something like what3words for IPv6.
