USB

USB 1.0 came about in november 1995 but it didn't catch on till USB 1.1 was introduced in 1998. USB 1.1 had two data rates: 12 Mbps for high-speed devices like disk drives and 1.5 Mbps for lower bandwidth devices like joysticks. USB 2.0, introduced in 2002, increased the peripheral-to-PC speed to 48 MBps. Most USB ports now are USB 2.0
