USB-Cable: A History of Not Being Lost, is a comprehensive guide to the most epic tale of woe, frustration, and occasional triumph, of the USB-Cable.
It all began in the 1980s, when the world first discovered the joy of plugging things into other things. The first USB-Cable was born out of the marriage of the IBM PS/2 and the 9-pin DIN connector. It was a union of power and convenience.

Fast forward to the 1990s, when the world realized that, hey, maybe we should make these USB-Cables a little more standardized. Enter the USB 1.1, a behemoth of a cable that could only be tamed with a healthy dose of duct tape and prayer.
Fast forward to the present day, where we have USB-Cables that can charge your phone, connect your keyboard, and even make you a nice cup of coffee (with the right adapters, of course). It's a brave new world, and we're just along for the ride.
