Man creates USB finger to replace missing digit

16 March 2009 17:41 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Upon losing a finger it seems Jerry Jalava has done what any red-blooded gadget-lover would, and made his own high-tech replacement.

The prosthetic digit Jalava created takes a fake finger and adds a USB flash drive, ensuring he always has storage to hand.

Jalava is now hard at work on a next-gen version that will offer a removable fingertip and RFID tag.
