The future of data storaging is on...DNA!?

Recently I read an article from OneZero, a Medium page about news of the world of technology, that interviewed Emily Leproust, CEO of Twist Bioscience, about the use of DNA to storage data. It was very exciting to see the very beginning of a potential change about the hardware we utilize to read and write files.

This could also mean a change on the matter of data security. The interview covered this topic briefly, but the imagination it inspires runs wild (I wonder if someone already wrote a sci-fi book about the use of such technology).

More and more we can see that Biotechnology applied to Computation will cause significant changes (to say the least, I dare) to our world. What changes, though, my crystal ball won't tell me.

What are your thoughts on the article? It would be awesome to hear your opinion!

Thanks for reading!
