I expect DNA to be used in computing within 5 years. That should be a game changer. I post a lot of tech stories here, even though I am anything but a techie and most of it just amazes me.
A lot of people don’t have any clue about what kinds of research is going on or the advances being made. I agree that DNA has a future in hypercomputing. I think the ability to download at least partial human intelligence into computers is also relatively near.
Lots of research going on in the area of hibernation. Just a few days ago I was reading about researchers extending the lifespans of mice by 10 or 12 times using a metabolism slowing molecule naturally produced by the cells. They were putting these mice under for weeks at a time only to run them through mazes with accuracy as if they had done it minutes before. Scale it to a human lifespan and you’re looking at putting a 30 year old person to sleep for 50 years and when they wake up they’ve only physically aged a couple of years.

I don’t know if DNA will be used in computing in 5 years. That’s something akin to Kurizwell’s idea. He places the perfection of that technology out around 2039;
But there will be huge changes in the way doctors do business as a result of DNA technology. But even those big noticeable changes are 10 years out imho. It will be commonplace to grow organs from your own tissue. People will be prescribed medicine tailored to their exact dna.
