How about this answer: When computers have 64 times as much ram, i.e. 64*16 GB = 1 TB of ram. So, perhaps in 12 years assuming doubling every 2 years?

If we have a doubling every 2 years, then 5 more years should suffice. I bought my current PC with 64 GB almost 3 years ago. But I don't expect to buy a PC with 1 TB of RAM in 2020.

If I am wrong, and by 2020 we also have somewhat affordable 10 TB SSDs, things could get interesting.
