Alright, I should go to bed but I want you to "update" you that I've  translated a text from wikipedia about DNA computing. I hope I've done it right.

DNA computing is a kind of computer which uses DNA, and so biochemistry and molecular biology, instead of silicon.

This technology was used for the first time in 1994 by Leonard Adleman. Computer made of silicon are more feasible but in 2002 some researcher from Weizmann Institute of Science in Israele, presented a molecular programmable machine made of enzymes and DNA’s molecules.This computer can execute 330 000 billions of operations per second and has proved to be 100000 time faster than the faster available PC of that year.In 2004 five researcher announced on Nature the building of a DNA computer. It consists of a coupled structure with a module for input and output which can diagnose the cancerous activity inside a cellule , and then it releases the appropriate medicine.

I hope I've translated it almost correctly. Anyway it's cool how human being is curious to do calculations or solving problems The fast as possible. Technology, if it's used correctly, could help humanity as well, but history teach me that with technology develops the most in war time. is it a kind of natural selection or a spirit of survival which tell us to do as much as possible to kill people but then we don't consider that we hardly resist with nuclear war. I've probably touched lots of hot topic but the sentence "Mice doesen't buil nuclear bomb ti kill themselves0" makes me think.

I hope we can get rid of these problems soon.

Thanks for sharing again.

You're right. We've learned to buid powerful computers using silicon, we've made big achievement nowdays, but polluting our world. The next step is reduce polluting, find new environmetally-frendly technologies and and learning that an heated argue is better than nuclear weapon and war...

Very nice translating. I like the topic you chose.

To be honest,  I heard about this topic before, but I didn't understand it well until I read your post.

Thank you for translating this article.


About the technology (which I'm using right now to write this comment), I started to think maybe we followed a wrong way to creat this technology. What I mean by this that the ancient civilizations were modern, and they made Pyramids and other amazing achievements, but without polluting the environment, and without making nuclear weapons that kill humans and nature.
