It’s a common problem in computing, but it’s especially true for laptops: there just aren’t enough USB ports to accommodate all of the chargers, dongles and cables that a modern, connected lifestyle needs to take into account.
Designer Jiang Gonglue came to a pretty simple yet genius solution about how to solve the problem of missing USB ports. He invented the USB cable which, when it is plugged into a USB port, immediately becomes port itself so, theoretically, you could attach infinite number of USB cables to your single USB port.
What I love about this design is, like most good designs, it’s easily actionable today. In fact, Gonglue has chosen to render his idea after the fashion of Apple’s own USB connectors… and in truth, it’s very hard to see what’s stopping Apple from shipping out smart new iPod cables like this with their next hardware refresh. Not that they will, mind you, but dare to dream.
