There will always be a need for powerful desktops to run certain types of applications or to hang devices on (e.g., musical instruments with midi interfaces and music software software and sequencing software that needs major horsepower, CAD, heavy number crunching or security needs like bank or tax applications). For your average users, I think there will also be an increase in people adopting the thin clients (tablets, smartphones, etc.) and storing all their music, photos, and word processing in the cloud. There are already ways to do this, like Dropbox, Flickr, etc. You really don't have to store anything on a PC anymore, if you don't want to and it only get easier and easier and the storage capacity in the cloud will only keep getting bigger and bigger. Keeping things secure and hidden and private in the cloud is what you might have to think twice about before you throw something into it.....
