Just stumbled onto this site
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dna-computer.htm and it tells you about a new DNA computer and how it works. Apparently these new computers are a lot better than silicon chips, 1cm cubed of DNA will be able to do 10 trillion calculations at once and store over 3 terabytes of information. The DNA computers are said to be able to solve complex problems in a few hours where it would take a normal computer 100 years to solve this. My line of thinking is, if we have DNA controlled computers who can perform so many tasks at once and solve complex problems, wouldnt it then try to come up with an idea to change its own genes, upgrade itself, become smarter? how complex could that be? I quite like the idea though, it opens new doors to the human race, it has the potential to advance us in leaps and bounds, it could prove to be a key factor in the fight against deadly diseases, who knows what this new technology will bring but if proper precautions arent taken, then The Terminator plot isnt as far fetched as it may seem.
