PG - Were/Are you talking about the death of the big screen here -- or just the network/broadcast/cable distribution?
Because I think I still see a place for the lean back screen. Effectively you have 3 screens in your life of decreasing importance.
First is the personal one. It's 3-4 inches and is in your pocket where-ever you go. Occasionally you might even speak into it and use it as a "Phone".
Second is the creative screen. This is the bigger screen at your desk where you do work. Not everyone needs one - but for serious work a larger screen plus relevant input devices are important. (This is the lean-forward screen)
Third is the lean-back/consumption screen. This is for consumption and specifically -- consumption sharing. It will likely have a number of 'computers' attached to it: maybe an xbox and appletv. This is for group entertainment (kinect/wii games, etc) and for in-person social media sharing (watchign a movie with your partner)
// I see tablets falling between 2 and 3. It's the replacement of the clipboard and a partially social consumption device.
While the third screen there is much less important than the first two (especially #1), I feel it still has a place.
