And we DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS EVERY THUMBTACK ON THE PLANET. Whowever dreamed up IPv6 needs to be put in a nice padded cell where they can't hurt themselves.
In a day and age when every cellphone, toaster and toilet is gaining the ability to use IP, it's not hard to see use for the ability to address every thumbtack, and then some. How long before RFID tags become IP capable? When IPv4 was thought up decades ago, I'm sure no one ever expected the address space would run out. By making IPv6 large, people a few decades from now won't need to go through the pain of implementing a new standard.
I believe the software your refer to is called "AtEase".
