USB Drives As Social Statements
Within the last five years, the USB drive has transformed from an efficient data storage device into a fashion accessory. Before USB drives became popular, computer users were compelled to carry floppy discs, CD-ROM discs or bulky portable hard drives to make information portable. The USB flash drive made your information portable and universally-accessible. No longer were Mac and PC users entirely at odds because one system did not recognize the medium of the other. With USB flash drives, consumers may transport information between computers, gaming consoles and other electronic devices with a USB port. This is especially handy, particularly in locations where Internet connections are not available or under circumstances when the physical (not transmitted) transfer of files is essential.
Just as the USB flash drive has made data storage easy, various manufacturers have found ways to make them more stylish or interesting. USB flash drives can show off your interest in social causes, your allegiance to a major film franchise or your sense of humor. Even more than memory capacity, the form of a USB flash drive is its selling point now. Some of the most interesting USB flash drives currently on the market are:
The Swiss Army Knife Flash Drive. Swiss Army knives have long been a handy tool. They feature an iconic red handle and blades that fold out of the handle when you want to use them. Now, there is a Swiss Army knife that includes, in lieu of some blades, a flash drive. With capacities of 2, 4 and 8GB, the Swiss Army Knife Flash Drive takes the tool into the 21rst century.
The Thumb Flash Drive. Show off your sense of humor with a thumb drive that is a thumb! Currently on the market in novelty shops, there is a flash drive of a thumb is disturbingly realistic in its molding and shading. Users who want to get the shock value of sitting with what appears to be a thumb from the knuckle to tip sticking out of their USB port will find the thumb flash drive, with its 8 GB capacity fits the bill!
Moon Chrome Swarovski-Philips USB Drive. For classier computer users using their flash drive as a fashion accessory Swarovski and Philips teamed up to make a pendant flash drive. Made to look exactly like a fancy crystal necklace, the Moon Chrome pendant houses a retractable USB connector that makes your jewelry into a flash drive!
The USB flash drive is both an invaluable tool and a social statement. Think carefully before you buy your next flash drive about what the drive says about you!
