How did #Jeff_Booth determine that we are in fold 34 out of 50 in his "folding the paper 50 times" analogy?

For context, he analogized the exponential growth of technology to folding a piece of paper 50 times, illustrating how difficult it is to understand exponential growth.

He then explained that if we were to measure where technology is today using the same analogy, we would be in fold 34 heading to 35.

How did he pick this number? Is this just a wild guess?
