Imagine having an iPod capable of holding thousands of years of
high definition video. A DNA computer would make such a device very possible.
DNA is the substance that living organisms use to store genetic information.
What makes DNA special is that it is extremely efficient when it comes to
storing information in a limited space. Just one milligram of DNA is capable of
holding all the printed material in the world. DNA computing is currently in
its infancy, with prototypes such as MAYA-II only capable of showing the
concept. If DNA computing is perfected, computers will become capable of
holding amounts of information that are hard to imagine by today's standard.
