No matter the commercial in recent years, it seems every product claims to be bluetooth enabled. The other day I think I heard about a loaf of bread even having bluetooth access. The question begs to be asked; exactly what is bluetooth? To many people, its sounds like something you’d get from kissing a smurf.
Bluetooth was named after King Harold Bluetooth who united Denmark, Norway, & Sweden. The bluetooth technology is a personal area network that unifies your electronic devises. Ericcson developed the technology so that a laptop, cell phone, and camera could all be connected within a small radius. The range of the network can be between 30 and 100 ft. The infrared rays also travel through walls so it doesn’t work like a TV remote where you need a fairway of clean paths just to switch the channel. Devices that are bluetooth ready prove to be a nice safety addition for hands free cell phone use while driving. Information can be shared between users within a small network. So the answer to what is bluetooth could be listed as a small personal network used for safety, communication, and device interaction.

Are you for real? A king named Harold Bluetooth? hahaha how unfortunate.
I personally am surprised how many devices still use infrared.
Why is my tv remote still infrared? Or the remote to my airconditioner.
I like how the controllers of my ps3 use bluetooth as I can now stay totally under a blanket with just my eyes free.

They keep using old technology to save money.. and the consumer really has no idea..:)
Its like when you get a cheap laptop…Its because it is out of date…(usually)
Yeah, you must be right. It’s sad though.
You pay good money to buy the newest tv, and you do get a great screen. But they still give you the old infrared remote control.

Nice history of bluetooth. Sometimes somethings around us have become so regular to us that we even forget to think about them thoroughly…
