For example, try to think about USB drives. When they first appeared on the market, they had an insignificant silhouette that did not manage to catch the public attention, because back then the functionality was fundamental. I’m not saying that we’re becoming more and more superficial, even if we do, but if the technology is at our disposal, why not benefit the results of great efforts and unbelievable work in a design that is entirely on our liking. A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article about a cheap flash drive, called the Flash Drive Band, which was aimed to those who don’t give a damn on Swarovski-encrusted similar devices and who aren’t very good at keeping things in their property. Because, let’s face it, you’d rather lose a cheap USB drive made of plastic than a gold-plated one. Therefore, this is another suggestion for all of you who are aware of the fact that losing things is a hobby of yours. You don’t have to be ashamed, flash drives are so small (everyday smaller, to be more precise), that it’s not your fault. Not entirely. The Grid Tag USB Drives are colorful devices designed by Takuya Matsuda that you can attach to your bag, belt, book or whatever “b” word you might want to. If you’re against boring gadgets, all dressed in classic black or gray, then you should go for these colorful ones. As you can see in the picture above, these aren’t custom USB drives, and they can be yours for about $50 for the 1GB version and $70 for the 2GB one. As usual, I saved the worst for last: they are only-Japan-friendly, unfortunately!

You would have to be crazy to spend that much on a thumb drive these days.
