Physical space imitating virtual space

While perusing the in-flight magazine on a recent Ryanair flight, I came across the technology section, which usually has a mixture of cool, daft and overpriced gadgets.
One item that caught my eye was a flash drive that would physically get bigger the more data was on it - called a Flashbag.
I was intrigued and so further research was involved. Upon finding the creator’s website, I was a little frustrated to find out that it was only a design concept, and not available to buy.
According to the concept’s creator, the more data you put the USB flash drive the bigger it becomes.
In my opinion this is a very clever concept, not at all practical in terms of it being a flash drive, but very clever none-the-less.
There are some other interesting design concepts, including a balloon phone and a slightly strange set of remote control beads.
