when I was first involved with computers (~1989) portable storage maxed out with the Iomega Bernoulli Box Drive, which packed a stagering 20MB of data onto a single 5.25" disk cartrage.
A Blue-Ray Disk is about the same size and has a capacity (single layer) of 25GB.
That's three full orders of magnitude in 20 years, so yes, it seems to me that 2TB SD size cards are likely to be less than 10 years away, since they are a mere 2 orders of magnitude above what is currently available.

Does anyone else out there find it hard to believe the next generation of SD cards will have a capacity of up to 2 TB ?
To be honest I find it staggering.

Perhaps I'm just getting old. When I went to secondary school our computer science department consisted of one Commodore PET 2001, which only the brightest students were allowed near. (I was not among them !)

I used to mainly use CF cards and was amaxed when they reached 2GB - the size of the hard disk on my first PC, running Windows 95!
I am amazed by the size of memory chips now, but remember the SD card is not the smallest!
If you think this is small, then take a look at this Protein Molecule Memory.
To put things in context, if you want to store data about all the molecules in the human body you would need more than 3*10^16 (that's 3 followed by 16 zeros) Terebytes! 2TB doesn't seem like very much now does it?

Apologies to Mph for going this far off topic, but you might want to watch "Micromen" on BBC4.

That was funny! Certainly took me back...might want to watch "Micromen" on BBC4.
