Always is too big a word. Perhaps in 50 years we will all have plugs into our brains, and we will just KNOW things - we don't have to read stuff anymore, we are just connected to the information. No more need for web applications, so no, I would not say that there will always be web applications, although there might be.

Will there always be new opportunities? Of course. At the moment, there are also still lots of opportunities for web applications.

The brain plug invention would only increase the need for automated information processing.

Of course, but I would not call it "Web application" anymore. Perhaps brain application?
