USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a specification[ to establish communication between devices and a host controller (usually personal computers). USB is intended to replace many varieties of serial and parallel ports. USB can connect computer peripherals such as mice, keyboards, digital cameras, printers, personal media players, flash drives, and external hard drives.
USD became the de facto standard for connecting any external, thanks to USB's built-in power supply and relatively fast speeds. The then-unique one-cable approach sparked a revolution that spawned everything USB ranging from flash drives, hard drives, headsets, speakers, TV tuners to webcams. All these top at 12Mbps, at which speed is only good for mice and keyboards; so the official USB body upgraded the specs to USB 2.0, adding Hi-Speed USB mode operating at 480Mbps. As more applications moved on to wireless thereafter, the same group decided to follow the trend by cutting the wire in the latest Certified Wireless USB standard, completed in 2005. And as of this writing, we are currently in the pre-WUSB and SuperSpeed USB era.
The technological advancement in our world is so rapid that communication is much easy as compared to yester-year. Wires are gradually replaced by wireless through satellites' transmission. All these changes the way of life. Poor old man like me... I have to keep on learning new things to get connected with the world at large!
