DNA Data Storage -- The future of information

Imagine storing all of humanity’s digital data — movies, books, photos, even the entire internet — inside a few grams of DNA. DNA data storage uses the natural genetic code (A, T, C, G) to replace 0s and 1s of computer data. It’s unbelievably compact: while a hard drive lasts maybe 10 years, DNA could preserve data for thousands of years without losing information.

Researchers have already stored the Bible, artwork, and entire books inside DNA strands. The technology offers massive storage with minimal space and very low energy usage. It’s still expensive today, but just like computers, DNA storage may soon become affordable and common. This breakthrough could completely change how future generations store knowledge, memories, and history — all encoded in the language of life itself.
