The innovation-development process of the USB flash drive. By:  Sheila Cuffy
Need:   ,[object Object]
Prior to USB drives, it was difficult and inconvenient to move large amounts of data from place to place. CD-writing technology was   almost unavailable on personal computers until the late 1990s; the largest commonly-available portable storage media were floppy disks that could at best hold 1.44 megabytes. Large files (over 1.44 MB) had to be split up across many floppy disks, or put on expensive and rarely-compatible high-density disks, such as Zip disks. Those required special, expensive hardware, which limited their popularity (Champion, L. (n d).
Research:   ,[object Object]
The Use of Portable Applications as e-Portfolio Tools in Teacher Education  was the research article I chose.  In summary, the research showed the benefits of the   USB flash drive as: a significant reduction in the amount of paper used; a user-friendly portfolio which can be shared electronically with others; the ability to use the USB drive applications on any PC; easy access to applications and the user's own material no personal data left behind on the 'host' computer.  This study supports the importance of the need of the USB flash drive (Mackrill & Taylor, 2008).
Development:   ,[object Object]
Even though the original vision was not fully realized, USB storage devices have become the storage devices of choice for most users. Since 2004, most PC manufacturers have eliminated floppy drives from the desktop due to the popularity of a USB keychain-type add-on memory (Koon, 2005).
Commercialization:   ,[object Object]
Nowadays there are not only different in capacity of USB flash drives, but also diversiform appearance of them. It’s not surprising at all to see a novelty USB flash drive that looks like a piece sushi or an animal.  The manufacturing meets the appeal of the user.
