He is right, the Internet is based on TCP/IP, there is no way to bypass the IP addressing system. Today, the Internet uses IP v4 which requires 4 sets of IP address from 0 to 254. IPv6 is now in works and it will STILL need IP addresses, and it won't look like the IP address you'd see today. It probably will consists of 12 digits from 0 to F (0-9,a,b,c,d,e f). However the IPv6 still in the works and has not approved yet at this time by world committe for the Internet. I am not sure what that organization was called.
