I believe just about everyone here recognizes the image I have attached. This ends at 2⁸⁰. I suppose some here could comfortably TF to this level in a reasonable period of time. Of course, I do not know what most would consider "reasonable."

The last I heard, a computer "generation" was in the area of 18 months. It is probably less now. It would take many generations of tech growth to get to the level the OP was writing about.

Point: Let us do now what needs to be done now, and not think about the future.
