The Pig Chum by OfficeChums Stores Information Adorably

— August 19, 2013 — Life-Stages
The Pig Chum by OfficeChums is a unique way to store and access data from different flash drives. Likening the experience to babies feeding from their mothers, this version revolves around a litter of pigs. A design that would certainly attract younger generations, it essentially shows that technology is becoming more and more ingrained in everyday society.

Comprised of one mama hub and three card reading piglets, the Pig Chum by OfficeChums is at once practical and adorable. It even comes with a lanyard so that people can wear the individual babies around their necks when out and about. In a way, the product can be likened to a Tamagotchi. But instead of taking care of a digital pet, the digital pet takes care of the user's pertinent information.
