How the First USB Was Invented

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the invention of the Universal Serial Bus, or USB, and how a team of seven engineers from Intel, Compaq, Microsoft, and others tackled the growing mess of PC ports in the mid-1990s. We look at the specific problem of connecting peripherals, the development of the first USB 1.0 spec in 1996, and the slow road to adoption—including how Apple's iMac in 1998 helped make USB a standard. We also unpack the idea of a 'universal' connector: why it took a decade for the industry to agree, and how USB-C is now trying to do for power and video what the original USB did for data. If you've ever plugged in a device and it just worked, this episode explains how we got there—and why that moment never happened by accident. #USB #UniversalSerialBus #AjayBhatt #TechHistory #ComputerPorts #PCPeripherals #Intel #AppleIMac #USBC #Standards #PlugAndPlay #Technology #Business #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechInnovation #Connectivity Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
