An idea worth spreading

According to my analysis Computers and Microorganisms work in the same manner. You have a compiler/interpreter in computers that basically performs the processing on the input, be it a key press, a mouse roll, or a sequence of literals wrote together in a notepad like a program. Lets take these inputs just like an external stimulation to the computer(just like smell, taste, sound, vision etc for us).
Compilers are no different than the DNA in microorganisms. compilers interpret the sequence of databytes same as the DNA encodes the sequence of stimulation. the DNA decides which gene to take care of which part of the input stimulation. The compiler decides by parsing the input i.e. creating a parse tree of the input with the help of the production rules that were defined at the time when the compiler was built. The genes can be thought of as the production rulesets for the DNA.
