Scientists are Harvard University stored around 700 TERABYTES of computerized data on a single gram of DNA. that is equivalent to the date stored on 14,000 50 GB Blu-Ray disks. This is an amazing feat, one that has awesome, and admittedly frightening potential.

DNA is information...

Ever consider that the computer virus is exactly the same as a virus that gets you sick in a different media type?

Or bodies are machines our minds computers.

Yup. As we learn to build more sophisticated interfaces between them, life as we know it will change drastically.

I'm picturing biological computers becoming dominant within the next hundred years.
