Data stickies is a design concept, but not necessarily a pipe dream. There’s some real science here.

dataSTICKIES are conceptualized to be made in graphene, a ground-breaking new material which is a flat mono-layer of carbon atoms tightly packed into a two dimensional honeycomb lattice with a minimum thickness of one atom. A paper thin sheet of graphene has the capacity to carry huge volumes of data.

The idea would be to have a stack of data stickies behave like a daisy chained set of hard drives. When you stick the sticky on your monitor (or a sticky-ready surface connected to your computer), all the stickies would appear as mounted volumes on your computer.

Love the design, obviously there are many practical hurdles to overcome. But this type of conceptualization is exactly what R&D should be all about. Let the haters hate. I say bravo and keep dreaming and scheming.
