It lets computers and other gadgets talk to each other using cables and connectors. It was created in the 1990s to make device connections easier. Before USB came, people had to use many types of ports and cables for different devices. Now, one USB port can support several different types of devices.<\/p>\n<p>Also, USB cables transfer not only information (data). They also give electric power to charge phones, tablets, and other gadgets. You can plug in a USB device and use it right away. This is called plug and play.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Must Check &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/full-form\/\">List of All Full Form<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_USB\"><\/span>History of USB<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first <strong>official USB version<\/strong>, called USB 1.1, came in 1996.
