plus2x2 Six years ago vs Today USB Drive

Well, exactly six years ago, I bought a 128MB USB stick from transcend about US$40 and I happen to read this news today. The news is that Kingston is now going to produce world’s first 256GB flash drive. It is pretty awesome you put 256GB in your pocket when you walk around for sure, but the thing is, the capacity of flash drives are now getting real bigger and the price has been falling down. Nowadays, I could buy a 4GB stick for about $10 and It is not even easy to buy 4GB thumb drives nowadays.

I first witnessed 16MB USB thumb drive and now 256GB, It is amazing how things have changed because nowadays I see computers with 2TB hard-disk equipped. Sometimes, I am not sure whether it is completely necessary for all these things because I clearly think I don’t.Anyway, It is awesome to see rapid changes over the years and within a short period of time. Now, I am just happy with my 4GB USB drive which can do alot of things.
