Who invented SMS?

It is said that the invention of SMS has always been regarded as Finland: a country with "social phobia", people don't like talking on the phone, so they invented SMS on a whim. In the actual record, the first real short message was typed and sent by a Nokia intern at 1993, and the content was "Merry Christmas".

In the following decades, the widespread popularity of mobile phones made SMS one of the most commonly used communication methods. On Zhiming and Chunjiao, Zhang Zhiming's heart and love turned into radio waves, and the sound of "di" jumped on Chunjiao's mobile phone screen; In The Perfect Stranger, because of the impromptu game at dinner, SMS has become a weapon to destroy the trust of friends and lovers.

In those years, we used short messages to express our feelings, greet and record our lives. You must remember this picture, the memory of the mobile phone is often insufficient, and there are always some people who can't bear to press delete.

Now that you are using a smart phone, you have no such troubles. Instead, your precious memories will no longer be stored in the SMS box. You look at countless commercial advertisements, express messages, warm tips, and even don't bother to delete them with one click. But occasionally there may be a text message to remind you to go back to the past. Guess it may be that an old friend sent a greeting that he hadn't seen for years.

We want to pick up the fragments of those memories, so we launched a collection of short messages that you can't bear to delete in your mobile phone. Within 24 hours, we received more than 300 replies. Many readers found their old Nokia, Sony and HTC phones and took photos of those small screens for us. To our surprise, more readers saved pictures and sent them to us in the form of screen shots. We were surprised to find that the original text message did not completely lose its mission.

We chose some sweet, disappointed, moving or sad messages. Their carriers are different and the picture quality is "uneven". They are not so beautiful, but they are particularly touching. We would like to invite you to join us and go back to the days when there were no expression packs, no circle of friends, and only words were used to convey feelings.
