More than 2.5 exabytes of data
is created every day, and some experts estimate that 90% of all data in
the world today was created in the last two years.
Clearly, storing all
this data is becoming an issue. One idea is DNA data storage,
in which digital files are converted into the genetic code of four
nucleotides (As, Cs, Gs, and Ts).
Microsoft just announced that it's
testing out this idea, getting synthetic bio company Twist Bioscience to
produce 10 million strands of DNA
that encode some mystery file the company provided.
Using DNA for
long-term data storage is attractive because it's durable and efficient.
For example, scientists can read the genome from a woolly mammoth hair dating from 20,000 years ago.
I am real skeptical and cynical about this.
God's storage system is God's.
You mess with it and your gonna get burned.
