Death of the URL Bar

Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!

Prediction:  The URL bar will go away (as we know it.)

We do not need two bars on our browsers.

More users are using the search bar for everything.  Because it always works.  Type in a search term and bingo, you get the results you were looking for.  Type in a URL and bingo, you click on the first link that comes back.

The URL bar is dying.

The day the Google search bar automatically takes you to a URL is the day the URL bar will become extinct.
