I still can't fill a 750mb CD with all my backups.

So basically, the entire thing is a prediction. They really needed to do a research study for that?

well we all know we'll eventually have 1000petabyte flash drives by the time we die.

Yeah I know about that. The standard 10 years ago was a 1.44MB diskette, and now it is a 4.7GB DVD. But what motivated people to need more storing space was when they started storing music, storing video and their apps started growing in space as well. What's the next similar revolution that is going to need a 2000x bigger disc in 10 years (from a 4.7gb dvd to a 10tb disc)? 10000p video? Games that use 50000x50000px textures? I'm not seeing it, at least not in this time period.

Now a 10TB internal hard drive, then yes, absolutely. I can see that becoming usual sooner than 2019. Just not a portable, lightweight, recordable disk.

If I'm wrong email me in 2019.

its just gonna be higher quality everything - movies, music, photos, etc.

Understand, i am an intense photo and music user. So even at today's levels, i feel limited by storage capacities. If technology was faster and more abundant, I would be shooting at RAW all the time - a filesize about 12-13MB on my cam, per pic (which by today's standards is the smaller spectrum of RAW files). I have taken about 150k pics over the last 3 years, at clubs and events. Do the math thats about 2TB's, of just RAW files. After that, you have to process the files and get em through - its just too slow to do effectively with current technology. And then I'll have separate files for the processed images, I'll need multiple backups, etc. So I'm very much looking forward to enhancements in performance which will make doing work like this a breeze.

Also for music production - you know how much space can be required for that - especially if you are using a lot of WAV files from hardware (which I do).

If space was not an issue, I'd be ripping all of my CD's at FLAC or even WAV. Of course my whole library is kinda like, already "built" at MP3... kinda sure I wouldn't wanna rip that again lol.

oh and, I'll love having insane quality movies too

lulz at people who think burned media is the way to go. That shit does not last. It deteriorates pretty quickly.
