The SMS celebrates its 30th anniversary: ​​what if the text message had not said its last word?

It is the originator of “mdr”, “pk” or other abbreviations like “lol” and experiences its heyday every year on December 31 at midnight, with more than 20,000 messages sent every second (a declining figure). The SMS, whose very first in history was “Merry Christmas”, celebrates its 30th anniversary this Saturday. Now present in our daily lives to confirm an appointment, validate a purchase or consult medical results, the SMS has evolved in three decades.
