Internet Society CEO: Most people don't care about the .org sell-off – and nothing short of a court order will stop it

I do not work in IT but I do like reading and learning about this area of life.

Is there any particular reason/s why the range of domain names are required ? In my naivete I used to think that .com indicated a business, until I encountered.biz, which just confused me.

It isn't as if the net / www is a new thing we have had it in our lives for quite sometime. I don't need the .edu to tell me that the site is a Uni' or a School, in much the same I don't need .mil to indicate that I am on the site for RAF.

Why we do we need these domain names ? can they not be done away with and just have .online for all. maybe have a tired price plan.

There's almost certainly a good reason for things being this way, but I don't know what that is.

Informative replies are welcome, am always happy to learn.
