Awesome ;-)

How about comparing to the lifetime of one person? With the US average life expectancy (78 years) that means you'd have to upload 800 objects/second for your whole life to get to 2 trillon :)

Edit: One S3 object for each fish in the ocean (3 to 4 trillion) could also be a nice future milestone (if also slightly underwhelming :)

Edit2: I also love the eye blink as a unit of time. Each time you blink (average is around 15 times a minute), XXX more objects will have been uploaded to/requested on S3
