🧬 Your DNA Can Store Every Movie Ever Made (Literally)

🧬 Your DNA Can Store Every Movie Ever Made (Literally)

Sounds like sci-fi? It’s real science. DNA — the molecule of life — can now store zettabytes of digital information.

📦 DNA = Storage Drive?
One gram of DNA can store over 215 petabytes (215 million GB) of data — more than all Netflix servers combined.

📈 Real-World Example
Scientists encoded:
– Shakespeare’s sonnets
– A full operating system
– A 1895 French film

All inside synthetic DNA.

🧪 How It Works
1. Convert binary data to DNA base code (A, T, C, G)
2. Synthesize that DNA strand
3. Decode it back to binary later using sequencing

🧠 Why It’s Game-Changing
– DNA lasts thousands of years
– Compact: 1 room = all world’s data
– Eco-friendly: No electricity needed for storage

🎯 What’s the Catch?
– Slow to read/write (not for daily use)
– Expensive (for now)
– Needs advanced lab setup

🌍 Future Uses
– Long-term archiving (government records, medical data)
– Space missions (DNA survives radiation)
– Bio-cloud storage

💥 Mind = Blown?
Imagine: all movies, songs, books stored inside a drop of liquid… forever.
