That stands for Universal Serial Bus USB is a standard communication series between computers and other devices. It was introduced in 1996 and has been jointly promoted by Intel, Phillips, US Robotics, Microsoft. USB was developed so that different types of devices may be housed under one common interface. Due to this feature, USB devices today are the most popular form of plug-and-play devices. In short, a plug-and-play device is an external device that connect to the computer for data transfer or to provide additional capabilities to the computer. Normally plug-and-play devices are used with additional software that acts as a link between the device and the computer's processor. This software is called the driver.
Many other standards exist for these connections as the PS2, but devices provide a net benefit on other standards, mainly because of two important reasons.
First, the standard USB allows devices be connected to the computer without restarting the computer.Many previous standards, the computer should be restarted before the system could be utilisé.Deuxièmement, USB device takes its power directly from the CPU, thus eliminating the need for an external power supply cord. It was only possible because that USB devices consume generally very little energy.
