In the early 2000s, before smartphones became central to daily life, a small but powerful device began transforming how people stored and shared digital information: the USB flash drive.
It quickly replaced older tools like floppy disks and CDs by offering a faster, more durable, and far more portable way to transfer files between computers.
At first, its usefulness seemed limited. Early versions only held a few megabytes, but that was still enough for documents, presentations, and basic digital files.
As technology advanced, flash drives grew in capacity and speed. Their simple plug-and-play design meant users could access files instantly without installing special software.
