The amount of data printed in to a new born baby is simply enormous.
Just to have an idea:
In February, Craig Venter printed his whole genome on paper, page by page, letter by letter.
It contained 3 billion letters of ‘A-T-G-C’s and filled up exactly 262,640 pages. The book weighed just 150 kilograms.
Interestingly, any two consecutive letter if printed wrong can condemn him to a terrible disease or cancer. Just 2 letters out of 3 billion. That’s the accuracy of these transcriptions.
