Namecoin clearly illustrates the way blockchain technologies can offer a censorship-free and seizure resistant domain name system. Our current DNS has inherent technical and political problems due to it’s centralization. These are solved in an elegant way with this technology.
Others are trying to re-invent the way we think about using domain names in crazy new ways as well, the Ethereum folks in particular. I have a slideshow available about Namecoin at http://namecoin.mikeward.net and am always willing to help folks get up to speed on this.
