Etymology
The term SMS originates from the telecommunications domain and was developed in the late 1980s. The first text message was sent in 1992 by Neil Papworth, a software engineer, who sent 'Merry Christmas' from his computer to a mobile phone. SMS was originally designed for communication between network elements in mobile telecommunication systems, but its popularity surged in the 1990s as mobile devices became more common. While initially limited to 160 characters, SMS has influenced various modern communication technologies and has led to the rise of social media and instant messaging applications. It has evolved greatly over the years, integrating with online services and supporting multimedia content through MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). Despite the emergence of newer forms of communication, SMS remains a widely used method for quick and simple text-based messages.
