Friedhelm Hillebrand
Invented Texting
Friedhelm, Fried, to his partying college
buddies, is a German engineer and technical writer who invented texting in
1985. He needed a way to break up with his hot-tempered girlfriend.
The maximum number
of characters and spaces is 140. That’s the number that can still be managed
while driving a car or monitoring aircraft from the control tower.
There are no
royalties paid for text messages. Every time someone sends a text, F G B
D S G E N N N N Z Z.= Fried Gets Blank, Diddly Squat, Goose
Egg, Nada, Naught, Nil, Nothing, Zero, Zip.
He has written a book about the creation of texting. The book costs $255.00. T T M M F A F B = That’s Too Much Money For A @#$%&! Book.
So finally there are 910 characters and spaces in this post, Oh wait a minute. That doesn’t include this ….. BBN
