Here is a USB Flash Drive which costs $10000 USD, is that way too much. The USB flash drive is named after Mnemosyne, a goddess of ancient Greece, a daughter o Urano and Gaia who belonged to the Titan race as Cronos, Rea and Opion.
Concept Behind making Mnemosyne Flash drive:
USB Flash Drive a generally used to transfer either files or pictures to somebody else. Its Normally used as a temporary device since its contents are soon deleted. Its success is due to the fact that it is cheap, thin, small, light-weight and easy to use. But, at the same time, this is also the reason why it is used with little attention. The pictures or the date is stored is not so important. But there are also the important recollections, the unforgettable ones, those that you will remember your whole life, such as the wedding or the birth of a child. Would you really want to delete such unforgettable memories? Would you rather keep them in a cheap plastic USB flash Drive or in a CD or DVD which can be afforded by everybody? Negligible and unforgettable memories are not the same thing. Mnemosyne’s project began with this in mind. As they wanted their USB Flash Drive to be used with care and attention, they chose a precious, expensive, bulky and heavy material, that would be difficult to use.
Their USB Flash Drive is similar to a puzzle where the memory is housed in the inner part of the body. Without disassembling the puzzle, you will never be able to access the memory that is stored inside. And once you store your unforgettable memory there, you must assemble the cube. This is exactly the opposite way that a common USB Flash Drive is used. Something very precious shouldn’t be easy, in the same way an opera of art isn’t. They wanted to highlight the significance of precious memories with this intricate and time consuming movement. They didn’t design the shape of an object rather they wanted outline an action.
How to Use Mnemosyne Flash drive?
The sliver pieces are designed to work as the “Key”. Since every place has a different form from the others, each one needs a specific slide movement to be fixed; that makes the object gradually steadier and steadier. But the assembling/disassembling operation is made possible by starting by the correct sliding movement of the right piece’ that will allow the slide of the other pieces on after another. The accomplishment of each correct step is marked by the pleasant sound of sold metal while sliding and impacting up to the complete assembling/disassembling of the object. Once disassembled, the object will show its most internal part, the 16GB USB Flash Drive. The biggest attention has been put to emphasize the value of the memory stored in the USB Flash Drive as precious recollection. This aim has been reached by making the assembling/disassembling process of the aluminum components extremely complex. So the object becomes a true brainteaser that rewards the people who succeed by revealing to them its contents. Mnemosyne’s simple cube shape has been deliberately chosen in order to balance its complex usage.
