While I agree that there are diminishing returns when increasing the bitrate for modern encoders there certainly is a noticeable difference between 20 Mbit/s and 10 Mbit/s.
We would need those high-resolution displays if we ever want to be able to show off pictures decently, and we have (finally) just begun to experiment with high-resolution displays. 4k displays are already being demoed.
My point was that 60 TB vs. 4 TB, given the time difference, isn't such a big deal. Biggest hurdle is to get a stable COW-filesystem. But as today SSDs will rule the workstation (and pretty much everywhere you value performance) and SSDs have much bigger technical challenges to get that big.
Regular spinning harddrives will thus only be used where you have a untypical workload requiring lots of data.
