This USB will Self Destruct…

Ok, Mr. Phelps, let’s put this one in the “bazaar-advancements-in-technology” category. 

Hoshino, a company based in Hong Kong, released what is considered the first “green-friendly” biodegradable USB disk. The USB keys are corn-based and break down over time. 

I can’t say I noticed a ton of USB disks littering the sidewalks or landfills but who knows. Perhaps it is a step in the right direction in the creation of technological products that are biodegradable given the disposable nature of our society today.
