I think there are so many trends going on simultaneously it is impossible to generalize. You could only design apps in Obj-C or Java and it would not seem like capabilities were limited compared with the past. You can do "user experience" and never have to worry about graphics or writing a line of code. It may be true that Flash overall is in the decline, but you can still specialize in Flash and get tons of work. The industry is evolving and many jobs that were once just a subset of "web design" are now considered career paths of their own.

I look forward to this new world.... more elegance, more simplicity, less "kitchen sink" mindset, less "make it POP with FLASH!!!" mindset, more respect for the users time, more awareness that less is often more....
as to the dev side, I'm also looking forward to less tendency to have major re-directions of purpose at the last minute, as people are more likely to actually get the idea of doing a few things well, rather than doing fuck-all everything...

More UX and ID mixed with visual savvy. Less pud-pumping with platform specializing.

Every time someone says 'crowdsourcing' here I always put '...spec work' at the end...meaning they are actually saying 'crowdsourcing spec work' because thats what you guys are really talking about. There's lots more to crowdsourcing than 99designs and services like it, I think its ultimately one of the most innovative and relevant creative processes going and will be even more prevalent in 5-10 years.
Again what the real problem in the design industry is using crowdsourcing for spec work, not crowdsourcing itself.
