Besides the obvious fact that this “biological storage media” would definitly have a great advantage because of it’s amazing small size, the bacteria has a second benefit: each time it reproduces itself it also makes a “backup” of the data.
So maybe one day biological storage systems will solve all archiving issues.

Something to say?
