Today, you plug in a USB-A port with a mouse or keyboard, but earlier there used to be a different type of connector and port for everything.

There was a PS2 port for installing mouse and keyboard and 56 types of ports for installing game controllers. But gradually, USB-A replaced them all. Then when the number of the smartphone came, the USB-A port was used on one side of the charging cable, on the other side, the connector of the phone replaced it.

However, now such cables are also available, which have Type-C connector on both side. Their use is still quite low, but in future, the use of the USB-A cable will probably disappear.
