Form over function function over form. Which is more important? I guess it depends on the task at hand and the perspective of the person looking at said task. All too often in the gadget world, there are two extremes: extremely functional butt ugly products and gorgeous looking boxes of plastic and metal that do almost nothing.
The flash drive concept above (designed by Sokolova Ekateryna) strives to ace both. It’s main goal is of course to act as a storage medium. It’s second job is to look good. It’s third job is add an extra level of functionality and ease to your life via the small display that shows several numbers and information regarding space free and used. For all of it’s tasks, I say it succeeds.
One might say why make a big deal about a flash drive. It’s sole purpose is to store a buffet of 1′s and 0′s. Nothing more, nothing less. So why highlight this concept when there are literally millions of novelty and “custom” flash drives flooding the market?
Because I like it. Is there any other reason?
