In what seems a highly implausible move, some bright spark has decided that wedding rings didn’t have enough storage space on them for photos and data and so set about designing a range of USB wedding rings that could store data and be plugged into PCs for a marriage of style and convenience.
Plug & Play
In a fusion of design and technology, the emergence of USB wedding rings certainly won’t be to everyone’s tastes but they will undoubtedly take the fancy of the technology inclined. The design of these wedding rings are such that it isn’t immediately obvious that they are also USB storage devices, as the diamond that sits atop them is detachable and reveals the device. These USB wedding rings allow for 2 devices to be interlocked for quick data transfers but, it’s safe to say, that traditional wedding rings made from precious materials have little to fear from these gadgets. It doesn’t seem altogether likely that someone will have the necessary nerves to actually propose with a USB wedding ring. Not with a straight face at least.
A Traditional Perspective
Wedding rings have been around since Ancient Egypt when they used reeds to fashion rings and the tradition has remained more or less unchanged since then. USB wedding rings, whilst obviously humorous novelty items, are not going to threaten gold and diamond wedding rings when it comes to wooing a potential bride. It is said that the ring finger is such because it has a vein that travels from this finger directly to the heart and the notion of USB wedding rings hardly tallies with this sentiment.
