Prosthetic Finger is a USB Drive

Prosthetic Finger is a USB Drive

By Dan Gould on March 16, 2009

Jerry Jalava lost part of his left ring finger in a motorcycle accident a few years back. His doctor, hearing that he was a software developer, suggested he install a USB drive where his finger used to be. Jalava did just that, and he now has a cyborg-like digital storage device on him at all times.
