pI remember Henry Petroski’s A HREF=”http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-Useful-Things-Artifacts–Zippers-Came/dp/0679740392/ref=sr_1_1?s=booksie=UTF8qid=1285600644sr=1-1″ IThe Evolution of Useful Things/I/A book from my design school days, and the paper clip on the cover being touted as a more or less perfect product design. The humble clip performed its job well, used a minimum of materials and manufacturing processes, and there was nothing that could be practically added to it to increase its functionality./p
pUntil now, that is. Designer A HREF=”http://www.industrial-design-germany.com/” Arman/A Emami’s A HREF=”http://www.verbatim-europe.co.uk/en_1/newsroom-store-%E2%80%98n%E2%80%99-go-%E2%80%9Cclip-it-usb-drive-%E2%80%93-verbatim%C2%B4s-red-dot-award-winning-usb-drive_show-news_1319_3642.html” Clip-it/A, designed for Verbatim, is a flash drive paper clip that holds two to four gigabytes of data. Meaning Petroski’s entire book will now fit handily on a paper clip, at least if it’s a Clip-it. Pretty meta.br /
