The title makes it sound almost like we are just ditching lenses. Makes much more sense to say that we have managed to build much more sophisticated sensors.
The part about "computational imaging" rings awkward to me. In a very real sense, lenses are just computation systems. They are crafted to manipulate their inputs in a controlled way. We just now can do more sophisticated computation in other parts of the systems we have built.
