The most obvious benefit of using a memory stick is the fact that you can make updates at the last minute. You do not have to go rifling through your briefcase, pocketbook, or backpack for your ancient floppy disk. Your memory stick will always be where you can find it. Another benefit is the fact that you can add a lot more information to it than you can any another type of removable storage device.

Many companies are finding that a memory stick is very useful with clients, because they can easily update information and the client can view what is on the memory stick at their quickest convenience.

You can also have your company's logo printed on the memory stick to help promote your business, include a link to your website, or upload a format for the client to be able to email you directly once they access the information on the memory stick.

Teachers and students are also finding that a memory stick works exceptionally well. Many high school and college students work on a different computer each day for assignments.

High school teachers are also starting to require more professional presentations, such as PowerPoint, to get their students ready for college and for the professional world. Using a memory stick helps students not only save their work regularly but also save paper for the schools.
