People aren't having trouble remembering because they're not doing it right, they're having trouble because it wasn't designed right. And by "right", I mean designed for the average human to remember.
- Dagger2 7y agoIt's designed to go into DNS, so that computers can handle the remembering. This is the right design for the average human. It's also designed so that the IPs themselves don't need to be particularly hard to remember. Compare 2001:db8:42:1::5 to 203.0.113.42+192.168.1.5 -- the v6 address is shorter than the pair of addresses you inevitably end up with in v4. If you're one of the tiny percentage of humans that actually do need to remember a v6 address, then pick an address like that rather than something long and hard to remember.
