Who invented USB?

I don’t mean Intel. Who was the person who first thought of it?

to quote the site

It doesn’t say WHO invented it but as is usual with many new computer technologies, there is a group of people working together to make it such. Then the IEEE standards come in to ensure the technology is standardized. http://www.ieee.org .

So to kind of answer you, Intel wasn’t the only one involved in the process.
