As a very early adopter of the original USB, I’m amazed that I’ve actually run out of USB ports on my current PC.
Camera
Video camera
iPod
iPhone
Mouse and keyboard
Scanner
Flash memory
Bluetooth transmitter
et al.

USB really has lived up to its promise.

The best thing about USB is that it finally made the floppy disc extinct. I have about a dozen USB "flash-drives" ranging from 64MB to 16GB like the one in the picture.

I can fit my 6GB work folder (containing all my work files) in my pocket and thus take all my files from the office to home and back so I can work wherever I want. I have other USB flash-drives that are crammed with utilities and applications so that no matter what computer I am running, I have full access to all my files and apps and also have the ability to troubleshoot and fix any computer.

If thumb drives was all USB was good for, it would still be a great invention. But that's just scratching at the surface.

I can still

Similar here. I have 4-way extension ports plugged into my 4-way extension ports.
