Lexar: How Memory Cards are made

From widescreen television sets to DSLR cameras to portable Netbooks, memory cards seem to be everywhere these days (Seriously, my alarm clock has one).

It is only natural then that we are curious about the manufacturing process involved in making these miniature storage devices. Fortunately, Lexar recently posted a video on their youtube channel showing just this. If you like technology and How It’s Made, be sure to check the video attached below.

As of yesterday, Youtube has officially launched a revamped edition of their mobile site in order to improve the experience for these users.

Since Apple’s mobile platform does not currently support Flash, Youtube has replaced all video elements with HTML5.
