Is DNA the answer when we run out of silicon? | Anagha Rajesh | TEDxBangalore

As our digital world generates more and more data every day, we're facing a storage crisis that silicon technology simply cannot solve. While datacenters expand to the size of football fields and consume energy equivalent to entire cities, one entrepreneur believes the answer isn't in building bigger, faster, or more efficient computers, it's in understanding biology better.Anagha Rajesh has identified a fundamental flaw in how the tech world approaches DNA data storage. While researchers spend fortunes chemically manufacturing DNA sequences from scratch, they're completely missing DNA's most revolutionary feature: it's naturally rewritable.Unlike traditional storage that burns out or becomes obsolete, DNA has been perfecting its storage and editing capabilities for 3.5 billion years. Anagha harnesses this biological rewritability, using chemical tags that can be added and removed just like nature intended.Does this mean we will enter a post-silicon era where pocket-sized DNA chips could store the entire internet and open possibilities for biological computing that extend far beyond storage into solving complex mathematical problems and even quantum computing applications? Anagha Rajesh is a biotech innovator and founder of BioCompute. She is passionate about the future of genetic technology. With a background in synthetic biology, she explores how nature's code can solve modern problems. Anagha has been recognized for making complex science accessible and exciting. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
