USB! (jan 1, 1966 – jan 1, 1966)

Description:

The USB was developed by a team of engineers at Intel led by Ajay Bhatt, who says he was inspired to take on the task after having continual issues using a printer. The team wanted to create a single interface that could support a wide range of devices and provide a faster data transfer rate than existing interfaces. They developed the USB as a high-speed serial communication protocol that allowed devices to communicate with each other over a cable. He also wanted the connector to deliver power to the peripheral device, so it wouldn't have to supply it on its own.
