Total sim memory requirements in the future

After downloading the latest update, I'm wondering how many gig's this simulator will require in the future!

Probably terabytes but SSDs prices are plummeting.

In terms of ram, currently it is 32GB if you do not use accelerated time in game and 64Gb if you use accelerated time.  (64GB of ram allows the game to accelerate to something like 10 x without issues whereas 32Gb causes problems after 4x )

Future ram and SSD use is sort of irrelevant though,  as what we pay for 32Gb ram now will probably buy a terabyte of ram in 10 years time and the $50 500GB SSD will be a $50 4Tb one in a few years..

The real question is will PCs still exist at all or will we be all wearing VR 3D sim focussed headsets at 8K with stuff like fully animated grass and trees that move in the wind.
