I often think that post-singularity, computers will become a part of the human body on a completely fundamental level. Computing systems that can integrate completely with the bits and pieces of us will be commonplace. Effectively turning everyone into an entire network worth of computing activity.
Well, leave it to Japan to take the first steps towards this reality:
The researchers involved see the technology they are pioneering as a way to create low-energy computers with fake DNA strands and enzymes. But what if we were to harness the computational power of our very real DNA to run applications in wetware? A million thoughts for the potential here come to mind. Certainly it's not a wholly novel idea, but it does bear some consideration.
