That comment will definitely be laughed at in years to come. You won't need anything near that as I imagine he isn't taking into account new methods of replicating reality.

Only thing I can think of is scanning real objects in from every angle.

One major issue with predictions is that they don't take into account future developments e.g. PC's and the internet, food production and fertiliser. I will say that reality could be reached with <2500 TFlops on that premise alone.


Okay, I'm actually quite eager to hear the explanation on how fertilizers affect graphical rendering.  Or reality?!

You misunderstand:
"One major issue with predictions is that they don't take into account future developments e.g. PC's and the internet, food production and fertiliser."

Food production and fertiliser is an example of a future development that wasn't taken into account when a prediction was made about food production.
