Well, as Paul McNett points out, there's a curve we can plot that tends to indicate otherwise. And high-end video card GPUs are already 128-bit processing internally. Once the folks work out the kinks on the holographic nanoscale memory, or whatever technology, we'll all be walking around with PDAs in our pocket protectors with petabytes of storage. And then we'll need 128 bits of address space. Just a matter of time and evolution.
