"Memory stick" usually refers to a general-purpose memory-containing device that can plug into a computer's USB port. The computer sees the memory as an additional drive. A memory stick is also called a thumb drive or flash drive. The memory stick device is externally a case that can be easily handled and kept in a pocket or on a lanyard or key chain. The memory stick is inserted temporarily into a computer and used to transfer information to or from one computer to another, although there is now other equipment, such as audio equipment, that can read the device. "Memory card" usually refers to a small, thin memory-containing card that is used as the main data storage in devices such as cell phones and digital cameras. The memory card has exposed contacts and thus is usually left completely protected inside the device using it. It may, however, be removed and used to transfer data to computers, printers, or other equipment. In fact, you can obtain a small memory-card carrier, having a USB plug, that holds the memory card. That memory-containing, USB-pluggable device is now, for all purposes, a memory stick.
