Thanko USB-powered Mask
Posted on: February 16, 2007
If the USB port were human, it might stand a pretty good chance by running for Presidency, judging by its popularity among the masses. Is there any product out there that isn't powered by USB these days? The silicon USB-powered Mask is yet another interesting idea from Japan, featuring fans on either side that draw in air and purifying it to make the air fit for your lungs. I guess you must have a pretty thick skin to wear this in the office due to the amount of ridicule it attracts. Do take note of the fans' constant buzzing as they're enough to drive even the Dalai Lama up the wall after some time. The USB Mask retails for approximately $20 after conversion. See how happy the girl is after wearing the USB Mask?

Just imagine what would happen if you put the fans on reverse...

Wearing this mask in the office in Japan is the same as wearing a tie here.

Hi,
Couldn't resist commenting. Well if you go to Japan, about 30% people there do where masks, thanks to high dust there, I guess. So believe you me, there shall be no ridicule. And knowing the lil bit about Japanese people, they would actually get excited and praise it.
Having said so, that only holds true for Japan!
