64-bit addressing is too small
So there's already petabyte (2^50) databases in both academia and industry. This means that an exabyte (2^60) won't be too far off. And we're only now going to 64 bit computing. We'll be soon running out of the 64 bit address space and needing to go to 128-bit address space. By that time, hopefully IPv6 will be deployed and we'll immediately consider it nearly obsolesence.
We're also running out of metric prefixes. The next 64-bit shattering prefixes are zetta and yotta. I'll definately expect to see those used in the next thirty years.
