**Geek Alert ! Meet the man who helped change our world at Qwebec Expo ** - GoFuckYourself.com

Domain Diva · 08-18-2008, 08:41 AM

On 3 December 1992, an engineer called Neil Papworth sent the worlds first text message "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to colleagues at Vodafone.

Even though it was carrying just the two simple words, Papworth was unaware that his actions would change peoples lives forever in the way they communicate and open the door to the multi-billion dollar industry of Short Message Service (SMS) allowing people sending short messages to and from mobile phones.

Estimates of how many sms messages are now sent worldwide on a daily basis runs into trillions,in fact so many that it is impossible to put a figure on the actual amount.

Neil will be attending Qwebec Expo as a special guest of Global-Acces and looks forward to discussing how the adult industry can increase its revenues and benefit from using the latest phone and sms technology in todays fast changing world.

Pete-KT · 08-18-2008, 09:08 AM

um alrighty then

Evil E · 08-18-2008, 09:14 AM

That's pretty cool. He was on the programming team that invented SMS.

As a geek myself I can appreciate. Will he be talking or just hanging around?

MaDalton · 08-18-2008, 09:16 AM

nice, SMS destroyed thousands of relationsships, makes you virtually available 24/7 which means no more freedom, lets jealous girlfriends stress you when you don't reply within 5 minutes, reveals with how many girls you are cheating on her when she gets hold of your phone, gives you a brain damage from all those various noises a phone can make and destroyed the grammar and spelling skills of a whole generation.

i'll make sure to thank him when i meet him

LOL! Now, now. If you didn't cheat, you wouldn't get caught ;)

I look forward to thanking him as well but, for other reasons like the fact we can do SMS billing these days.

To me that just means it weeds out the bitches. The good ones would look at your phone and ask for a threesome

sltr · 08-18-2008, 09:46 AM

i'm pretty sure my 14 yo niece is responsible for ~1 trillion of those trillions of messages sent.

CaptainHowdy · 08-18-2008, 10:17 AM

Too late. Someone already sent the URL of this thread to your girlfriend by SMS.

A lot of phreaks will argue if Neil Papworth actually changed the world. He had very little to do with INVENTING sms..

He was just a test engineer on the project and happened to be the one who sent the first sms text message...

Quagmire · 08-18-2008, 10:38 AM

does he think being a geek will get him laid?

Neil was part of a huge programming team that invented SMS and is recognised as the first person to send a commercial text.

Over the years Neil has been featured in many articles worldwide including the BBC ,CNN and many thousands of magazines.

He continues to be still part of that team (guess you dont let good employess go) and welcomes guests of Qwebec Expo to discuss with him what will be the wave of the future regarding communications and how it can benefit our industry.

He didn't invent SMS. SMS was part of GSM standards back in the early 80's. The guy who invented it was some finnish guy way back then.

Still, I'm sure the guy is interesting to talk to.

Thanks pocketkangaroo yes your right.

Many different inventors worked on various forms of SMS.

One things for sure he did send the first commercial sms and is a very interesting different type of person that normally attends shows such as this.
