"What teachers are looking for is something that's reliable, that's easy to use, that they can just take and use in a way that fits in with their current practice," says Rose. She cites the USB drive as one of the most useful recent pieces of technology: "It works reliably, and you can plug it into any computer. It just does one very simple thing; it stores stuff. This simple technology enables you to do quite complex things in terms of sharing with your friends, sharing with your colleagues."
