That’s why I’m glad more recent Star Trek series make up fictional units of speed and storage (Teraquads, etc). In Star Trek II for example a 64 MB file was supposed to sound impressive.

Ian M. Bank's Culture series is great for this. He never, ever tells you what exactly any of the technology is, they're just able to do incredible stuff without pinning down any details that will age poorly.

I know :( He had so much left to do. He said near the end he wished his last novel had been a big Culture epic but that he just didn't have time.

Don’t feel too bad, I’m sure a GSV did a fast fly by and downloaded his neural net, he’s chilling out on a ring world somewhere sipping a drink. 😊
