Rubber duckies with USB flash drives are cute, but dialog05’s idea to embed the tiny storage devices in everyday objects is downright inspired. The Munich-based collective started universal connections as an art project, but many of its concepts could end up on store shelves. Over the years, members of the group have designed products for LG, Motorola, and Siemens. So it’s no surprise that the crew’s latest objects – all modded out with USBs – are getting attention from gadget makers. There’s the bra with a USB clasp, the trash can dock, and the must-have fixture (called essentials) that delivers the necessities of life – water, power, and data. Bloggers, including the geeks at Gizmodo, are already critiquing the concepts’ real-world functionality. But really, what better place to safeguard data than in your bra?
