# Finger Flash Drives The 'Human Thumb Drive' is a Creepy Way to Store Data By Michael Hines | Published 2010-06-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-thumb-drive References: [uniquedaily](http://www.uniquedaily.com/human-thumb-drive/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/48198785/human-thumb-drive) The 'Human Thumb Drive' has to be the creepiest-looking computer accessory available. This functional thumb drive holds 2 GB of memory and is made out of a mold of an actual thumb. The Human Thumb Drive is long-lasting and relatively cheap to buy at a price of $30. Thirty bucks for an everlasting thumb drive? Sounds like a good deal to me.
