So who hates flash drives as much as I do? you know the ones, the lil thumb drives that get lost and broken all the time? Ugh, they're the worst. Anyways, I lose mine or snap off the USB attachment all the time which is why I was super jazzed to learn about dataSTICKIES! Check these lil bad boys out:

So the concept behind dataSTICKIES is that they're the intersection between thumb drives and sticky notes. They were thought up by two Indian inventors, and are made of a thin graphine layer which is protected on the outside by sticky note-type material. It has an adhesive, like a sticky pad, and can stick to a "optical data transfer surface" stuck to your computer or phone. You stick the ODTS to the front of your computer or monitor, so there's no reaching around the back of your machine to fumble around with a USB port. 
And look! 32GBs on one little sticky! So much opportunity for high capacity storage. Like, I own all of the Sailor Moon anime (200 episodes and three movies) and that's 50GBs, which would fit on two of those! Plus, these are really easily shared, and the webpage said you can stack them to increase storage. You can also stick 'em to a TV, or the back of your phone... magical girl anime on the go!
That's what I've seen recently that I think is super exciting, and I can't wait for them to come out in stores some day.
