Hang on, we are now being told it's too hard to plug in a USB stick, and the world needs something easier? What will happen when people are no longer capable of picking up a glass of water and guiding it to their mouth, or of wiping their bottoms (which they can't see), I wonder.
ChaoSera:
To be fair, at times USB ports, especially those at the back of a desktop pc, do seem to have at least 8 dimensions, when you try to insert the thumb drive.
ankhtahr:
USB-B plugs are even worse, as their basic form fits in four ways instead of two. I usually end up turning them 8 times.
cesium133:
The worst computer I've dealt with for that was an old Dell we had in the lab (which later succumbed to capacitor blowout), which had two USB ports, at the bottom of the front panel, oriented downward. It was impossible to put a USB stick into one of those ports, because it was longer than the clearance distance between the port and the floor.

I seem to remember that my children discovered how to put things in holes the right way round as young toddlers - we even bought them things to learn with!
