Watch your data inflate the Flashbag

I had been talking to Ronnie whether storing data on a Flash drive makes it heavy or not. We were having such strange discussions that at a point of time, it was clear that the thing could actually get heavier because the electrical energy would convert into mass... (what a concept!)

Anyway... here's what I found on the net...
A USB Flashbag (USB Flash Drive with micro pump)


It's a standard USB flash drive that has a tiny pump in it that inflates when you load it with data. So if your drive is full of stuff, it blows up like a balloon, but if it's empty it remains flat and rectangular. But unfortunately, the Flashbag is merely a concept design and there are no plans at this time for it to be manufactured or sold.
