Through the work of my friend Falco, this wondrous technology comes to
us, I reproduce it as I found it, if I dare to comment on it, there is
only this to say:

The American technology company IntelliPaper® based in Spokane,
Washington, has created and offered for sale USB flash drives made out
of paper.

These devices, in addition to being disposable, cheap and ecological,
have the advantage of weighing very little and the ability to be sent
through regular mail like you would send an ordinary plain paper letter.
The technology allows any paper product, for example business cards and
fliers, to include a disposable digital flash memory.

For now, the main application is in the greeting card industry, but as
soon as the capacity is increased (currently from 18-32 megabytes) and
they become more common, they could become one of the most useful, cheap
and creative ways to share information.

The nightmare of totalitarian dictators.

USB flash memories have become a nightmare for totalitarian dictators
who depend on total control to survive. Distributing information
impossible to censor through these drives will be easy for the masses do
to their small size and their prices affordable even in the poorest
countries. Through them, for example, Web Packages can be distributed
very effectively, safely and cheaply, so that we can make available to
our readers, weekly, books, manuals and audiovisual materials.

This new technology fills a cup that is about to overflow. The
Uniqueness of Totalitarianism is closer every day!
