What is USB?
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard type of connection for many different kinds of devices. It's commonly used to connect peripherals such as mice, keyboards, printers, digital cameras, flash drives, and external hard drives to computers. It is also used to charge devices such as phones, tablets, and other portable electronics.
What other technologies are related to USB?
USB Competitor Technologies
PCIe
PCIe is a high-speed interface used for connecting peripherals, particularly in computers. It competes with USB in applications requiring high bandwidth, especially for internal devices.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a networking technology that competes with USB for data transfer, especially in networking applications. Both can be used to transfer large amounts of data, but Ethernet is designed for networking.
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital audio/video interface that competes with USB, particularly USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode, for connecting displays and transmitting AV signals.
SATA
SATA (Serial ATA) is a storage interface that competes with USB for connecting storage devices like hard drives and SSDs, especially internal ones.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology that competes with USB, especially for connecting peripherals like mice, keyboards, and audio devices wirelessly.
DisplayPort
DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard and competes with USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode for connecting displays.
PCI Express
PCI Express is a high-speed interface used for connecting peripherals, particularly in computers. It competes with USB in applications requiring high bandwidth.

USB Complementary Technologies
I2C
I2C is a low-speed serial communication protocol often used for connecting peripherals to a microcontroller or other host device. It's complementary because USB can sometimes be used to bridge to or control devices using I2C.
SPI
SPI is another low-speed serial communication protocol often used for connecting peripherals. Like I2C, USB can act as a bridge or controller for SPI devices.
UART
UART is a serial communication protocol often used for low-speed communication. USB can provide a UART interface or act as a bridge to UART devices.
