Did you know that the first-ever SMS was sent on December 3, 1992, and it read just "Merry Christmas"! It was sent by engineer Neil Papworth from a computer to Vodafone director Richard Jarvis's mobile phone. Back then, mobile phones didn't support typing, making it a one-way communication. Today, billions of messages are sent daily through platforms like WhatsApp, iMessage, and Telegram. Surprisingly, modern messaging traces its roots back to that simple "Merry Christmas" SMS. Isn't that fascinating?
