The ultimate recyclable computer!
Scientists are creating a way of storing data in the DNA of bacteria to create an organic storage that would survive even a nuclear attack. The idea is to encode data in the genome of the bacteria and then allow the bacteria to replicate, so that you have the ultimate backup system in place. Bacteria die fast, but they reproduce fast too, and they produce near perfect copies of themselves, so you could have automatic data backups every minute. Of course, mutation of bacteria would be a headache, but scientists are confident about being able to retrieve data using cood encoding and decoding methods. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to pass on your business card using the bacteria on your hands with just a handshake.. or maybe a kiss would be a better way to share personal data.. The possibilities are endless!
