In 1991, Cliff Kushler developed T9, making keypad typing faster on early mobile phones

Before JPEG, digital photos were cumbersome, hogging memory and slowing transfers. In 1992, the Joint Photographic Experts Group revolutionized this by developing a compression standard. This innovation allowed for efficient storage and sharing of high-quality images, transforming photography from a niche computer activity into an everyday practice. JPEG's enduring balance of quality and file size continues to make it a cornerstone of digital imaging today.
