The idea of storing digital data in a DNA living cell is truly mind blowing. It is the most optimum option since conventional storage is asymptotically going to hit the wall soon. We can encode images and movies into DNA in a living cell which acts as a molecular recorder and collects data over time. Going inside a time tunnel for 400 years in the future, we can look back at movies and images from 2018! Or a more appalling assumption if DNA storage were to exist some 3000 years ago, we would be able to see how Moses crossed the Red sea and the crucifixion of Jesus. Converting Digi-information to DNA-information is a great historical milestone to link future generations to our present.
