PC sales are declining because more people are realising that they do not need one. They can do most things - surf web, consume content - more comfortably on a tablet which is a fraction of the cost of a decent computer.
Your point also holds true, PC owners are upgrading less often also.
As for the web dying it depends on your circle I guess. My partner doesn't have a smart phone.. she does have an iPad but doesn't make use of the App Store and instead uses the camera and Safari daily. My parents have smart phones and tablets but hardly use apps. Instead relying on browsers and their laptop do any real work. I can only think of one or two friends who use apps out side of standard mail, navigation, twitter and facebook.
I think a lot of tech people are stuck in a bubble, surrounded by other tech savvy people who are ultra dependant on technology and app's in particular which leads to sweeping statements like "the web is dying." I see little evidence to support such an idea at the moment.

Totally agree with this (from the perspective of a web hoster), I think there's a few folks who need to get out of "the valley" a bit more.
