"Is the web dying?" First chart: "Desktop" (which I assume means "desktop browsers"): Up 15%, 2013-2015. "Mobile Browser": Up 53%, 2013-2015. So: No?

  Mobile apps: +90%

    Of course 90+ of those is messengers/facebook/twitter/instagram.

      Does discovery of new apps take place via web/search or social media? App Store discovery is not great.

    Citation needed.

  Perception is interesting, in this case some people perceive technology relativistically. If the technology isn't growing faster than its competition then it is dying. The author is a web developer after all.

    This is not limited to tech. It seems to permeate the financial world. If the curve is not showing growth, or perhaps even growing growth (figure that one out...), then it is time for the rats to jump overboard...

      Modern economy is inflationary. No growth equals shrinking.

        I must admit, my head hurts trying to parse that explanation.

          Could mean: the purchasing power of a dollar shrinks each year, so revenue needs to grow in order to buy the same things (e.g. developer labor) that could be purchased with last year's revenue.
