My son came up to me the other week and said, what happened to all the previous USB types?

And I thought, yes, that's a good question. What DID happen to them. Why do we have so many.

Here lies the answer (perhaps)

Hope you're all good, and have an excellent (bank holiday, for some) weekend!

So many USB types, so little time.

Not to be nitpicky, but there where kind of a big controversy over the USB3 A connector since it wasn't electrically identical to the 2 version and there were worries that people would get angry when their new USB3 device was no faster than the old 2.0 . Either because they used a 2 outlet on the computer, or because they used a 2 cable for a 3 device.

There was. I hadn't included it, because the video was more about connector sizes, than the technicalities. But I've updated the public facing version to include a couple of bits about it.

This video really connected with me. Thank you.
