When I think of the WWF, I think of people trying to preserve endangered animals. Apparently, the creation of their penguin USB does not confirm this thought, as the flash drive features a penguin that is sliced in two.
Although the WWF probably had good intentions making this unique penguin USB, it unfortunately does not send the right message across.
Implications - Technology is increasingly becoming easier to create, produce and to customize. With that in mind, it's no wonder that more and more products are emerging which add decoration and character to otherwise characterless gadgets. This playful USB Flash Drive is a perfect example of how consumers are increasingly becoming hungrier for products which add a little spice up their technological devices.
