Israeli Inventor of the USB Flash Drive Reminisces After 20 Years


It's been 20 years since computer users worldwide started to plug in the small flash drives (also known as thumb drives or memory sticks) into USB sockets on their laptop or desktop computers.

It's not well known that this device was invented in 2000 by Dov Moran, an Israeli entrepreneur, inventor, and investor. But it's only one of many hardware and software inventions that originated in Israel.

In this video, Dov Moran sits down with the ISRAEL21c video network to talk about his life, the early days of Israel start-ups, how he became an entrepreneur, and what Israeli life was like in the 1950's.

Enjoy, and kvell!
