Day 5: Did you know?
The first-ever SMS text message was sent in 1992 by engineer Neil Papworth. The message was just two words: “Merry Christmas.”
At the time, no one imagined texting would explode into one of the most popular forms of communication worldwide. Today, billions of text messages are sent every single day, and messaging apps have grown into entire ecosystems for business, social life, and even payments.
From a simple holiday greeting to a global communication standard. One small message changed the way we connect forever.
