How soon will tinkering with biology be as simple as programming is now?

Biotechnology is a big keyword in the industry right now, like computing was a bunch of years ago. Nowadays, anyone can pop up a terminal and start tinkering with their computer, program software, make anything from their imagination true in the virtual world. A similar trend is observable with objects and the growth of fab labs all over the world.

Will this happen with biology and how soon? At what point in our near future will we see kids play with molecules and DNA and life?
