Yesterday we saw the fun PixelPad iPad notepad, today we have another cool gadget-themed notepad, the Disk It Sticky Notes.
The Disk It Sticky Notes, as the name suggests, are designed to look like floppy disks, and they were created by designer Burak Kaynak. We think they are a great idea.
‘In the last few years more and more instances of the floppy disks have been spotted online but I couldn’t find anything interesting for myself. So I came up with an idea; Disk-it
An iconic alternative to the most popular yellow post-it notes, 3.5” floppy disk shaped sticky notes, designed for taking notes – attaching notes to documents and to other surfaces.’
The Nostalgia Factor
The Disk It Sticky Notes tap into a deep sense of nostalgia for many people who grew up in the era of floppy disks. These 3.5-inch floppy disks were once the primary means of data storage and transfer, and seeing them repurposed as sticky notes brings back fond memories of simpler times in technology. The design is not only functional but also serves as a conversation starter, making them perfect for any office or home workspace.
Practical Uses and Design
While the primary function of the Disk It Sticky Notes is to serve as a medium for jotting down quick notes, their unique design offers additional benefits. For instance, their larger surface area compared to traditional sticky notes allows for more detailed notes or drawings. This can be particularly useful for brainstorming sessions or for those who prefer to sketch out their ideas.
Moreover, the floppy disk design adds a layer of organization. You can categorize your notes based on different “disk” colors or designs, making it easier to sort through your thoughts and tasks. Imagine having a blue disk for work-related notes, a red disk for personal reminders, and a green disk for creative ideas. This level of organization can significantly boost productivity and efficiency.
It looks like the Disk It Sticky Notes are in the prototype stage at the moment, so we have no idea if they will actually go on sale. Let’s hope they do, as I would love some of these for the Geeky Gadgets office. They certainly are a lot more interesting than traditional post-it notes.
Additionally, the Disk It Sticky Notes could serve as a unique gift idea for tech enthusiasts and retro lovers. Given the resurgence of interest in vintage technology, these sticky notes could find a niche market among collectors and fans of retro gadgets.
