I thought it would be interesting to ask the following: What would you consider to be the ultimate storage format?

When I look at the current standard formats, such as CDs, DVDs and Bluray Disks, I can't help feeling as if they are lacking something special. While they do hold a lot more information, and they are a lot more reliable, they don't seem to have the same charm as classic formats, especially when it comes to being a collectible. That being said, do you think the world would benefit from a new format for storing our games, music and movies? If so, what kind of format would you suggest?

In March 2017, Yaniv Erlich and Dina Zielinski of Columbia University and the New York Genome Center published a method known as DNA Fountain that stored data at a density of 215 petabytes per gram of DNA. The technique approaches the Shannon capacity of DNA storage, achieving 85% of the theoretical limit.

With luck we'll be injecting our favorite games and movies into plants that'll replicate them in their dna.

I'll have so many plants...

You could even end up growing plants to ward off a zombie invasion.

Now all we need to store that dna is some carbonite!

If stone tablets were good for my ancestors, it will be good for my children too.

Books. Nothing is as future proof as books. There are still books around that are hundreds of years old. You can't beat that with a piece of plastic.

Physical book printings of the raw code for the games you buy. Nothing more DRM-free than that!
