| schestowitz | Back in 2000, at a trade fair in Germany, “an obscure Singapore company unveiled a solid-state memory chip encased in plastic and attached to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector,” writes Hallam Stevens. | Dec 24 01:26 |
| schestowitz | That device — now known as a thumb drive, flash drive, memory stick, or USB stick — was an instant hit that “changed the way computer files are stored and transferred,” Stevens says. | Dec 24 01:26 |
| schestowitz | This article traces the history of the thumb drive along with the sometimes competing claims related to its origins. | Dec 24 01:26 |
