I have one on my keychain I can use in a pinch to move files somewhere. It's come in handy a few times, but generally I prefer sending a link or such. But elsewhere in the world thumb drives are a very big deal. Like down in Mexico most car stereos will play MP3s directly off a thumb drive. So I learned you give the guy that runs the local internet cafe a few bucks, tell them what kind of music you like, and they fill it up with whatever. Likewise you can get loaded up with tv shows, movies, etc. This is a big deal for people in the very poor countryside. That was just my experience in Mexico a decade ago, I imagine it's similar a lot of other places in the world.
