...COMPUTER One of the most ingenious ideas being pursued is to compute using DNA, treating the double-stranded molecule as a kind of biological computer tape (except that instead of encoding 0s and 1s in binary, it uses the four nucleic acids, represented by A, T, C, G). This approach holds much promise for crunching big numbers. Hence large banks and institutions may one day use it. However, a DNA computer is an unwieldy contraption, consisting of a jungle of tubes of organic liquid, and is unlikely to replace a laptop in the near future...
...vital components began to shrink: the vacuum tube became the transistor; the transistor led to the microchip; the microchip married the phone and gave birth to the modem. Soon enough, sounds, photos, movies and conversations would be ground down into the smallest components of all: 1s and 0s. Was the digital revolution inevitable? In our brave new wired world, it certainly seems that...
...means more than the addition of new frequencies to the wireless spectrum. Unlike many older systems, which send a voice in a single stream as analog waves, PCS uses digital signals that break sound into discrete bits--the 1s and 0s that run computers. Digital technology enables PCS to offer such features as E-mail, caller ID and paging as well as compact-disc-quality sound and greater security from wireless eavesdroppers and phone-number thieves. (Digital technology is also becoming available in non-PCS formats...
...does the industry make it so hard to download digital sounds? Because those raw strings of 1s and 0s represent their corporate crown jewels; once a master digital file falls into a pirate's hands, it can be copied and recopied, each new generation just as good as the first. That's why music companies are always looking for better ways to protect what's known as their intellectual property--if not with tougher trade laws then with more powerful encryption...
