I think "today's technology" is probably the point.

I've no doubt that one day people will be running 160,000 x 100,000 resolution at 100fps giving almost Mk1 eyeball imagery. In fact "new technology" may not even use the concept of 'resolution'. Who'd have believed in the 1980s when Bill Gates came up with DOS that we'd end up where we are now.
