From Gizmo Watch:
Today’s idea came to me rather quickly as I skimmed the news. Gizmo Watch posted yet another modification on the flash drive which has been housed in a variety of unlikely ways in the past several months. Following an inspiring lecture by Stephanie Syjuco who incorporated fake 3.5 floppy discs into an art project of hers, I was reminded of how quickly data storage devices become obsolete and I started wondering when the flash drive would bite the dust. There seems to be some irony in housing the flash drive in unusual outfits. It’s almost as though we can’t wait for the next mutation.
