Lame...
Show me data storage in fedoras and a 300gb transfer rate, then I will be impressed.

I'm more interested in what method they use to artificially form DNA....

Fascinating though. Can't wait until genetic engineering is a reality for the human race.

^ Only in relativity terms that is true, but someday we will move past that.

I honestly don't give a damn if it takes a full day to decode 100GB of data from it as long as the decoding apparatus weight is manageable enough to be considered portable.


Just keep it sterile (no microbes, bacteria and such), sealed away from oxygen, and well under 50C at all times - it will perfectly keep for an insanely long time (think millions of years) without any other precautions.
How do you think we can sequence DNA of insects caught in amber for up to 20 mil years ?

Screw erotic stuff, think about being able to record EVERYTHING that can be seen or heard almost everywhere on the planet and not giving much of a damn about storage space.

Or, heck, think about literally backing up the entirety of the Internet on a frequent periodic basis, and barely putting a dent in your storage space.

Think about no more video artifacting on compressed video, just record everything in raw uncompressed 5760x3240 resolution images at 120 FPS (or even higher resolution at better FPS), and zoom in wherever the heck you please whenever the heck you please, or project barely-visible-pixel-up-close images the size of a building in cinemas... while keeping the permanent storage space for all such movies made in an entire decade the size and weight of a thimble (the downside being, the temporary storage space for a single decrypted 3-hour movie in that format however would need an array of thousands of multi-terrabyte drives, but that is less of a problem when you can seat a few dozen thousand people per screening - can be drastically reduced via lossless fast compression though, which should also not be that much of a problem).

Think about affordable storage space for TRUE 3D recording of the contents of any area, and being able to watch it all (just blanket every surface that can hold a mini-camera with cameras placed much closer than human eyes, and always select the closest two cameras to where your eyes would be based on desired viewpoint ; I'm guessing special effects would end up costing a whole lot more, but, eh, that's the price you pay, hehe).

And so much more

In this context, p0rn would be making its own data storage.

The same techniques that will no doubt give rise to the coming Zombie Apocalypse!
Time to start hording prOn for my future 100 zettabyte smartphone I'll take into the zombie shelter :D
That and I love Lucy reruns of course.
