Quick. Who's the inventor of SMS? I guess you don't know. It's Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen. He died last month at the age of 63 and he was a titan of mobile technology.

It was Makkonen who, in 1984, first pitched the concept of text messaging over cellular networks. In the process, he kicked off a communications revolution. The trillions of text messages sent every year are his legacy.
