Computers? Heck no. The human race relies on computers. To fly air planes, to stabilize billion dollar stealth aircraft, to navigate boats, to catologue data, for extremely complex analyzation, missile guidance, GPS navigation in your car, to create special effects, to edit movies, to create video games, to play video games, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Computers aren't going anywhere. (I know you were talking more along the lines of PC's, but even in the case of those, I think they are here to stay. At least until we find a way to surf the internet with just our eyeballs. :)
Consoles, perhaps. Technology is developing so quickly, they say that computer hardware doubles its power every two years, in many cases, even sooner. Consoles exist for the more casual gamers who don't want to have to purchase new hardware every couple years. They are a game development medium that give gamers the option of not having to upgrade.
Technology will always be developing, but eventually it will get to a point where the hardware is so powerful that consoles are no longer needed.
TV's are going to be around for awhile, or atleast, the idea of broadcasting media and "television" shows will be. I think the technology for viewing that media will change forms, though.
