Oct 6th, 2008

BlueTooth, for those that don’t know, is a relatively new technology (the last few years, anyway), that allows two electronic devices to talk to one another, over a wireless connection.  Generally, BlueTooth is a cell phone and headset pairing.  However, it can also be a keyboard and computer, a computer and a mouse, an iPod and a pair of headphones. There are plenty of BlueTooth devices out there these days.

The technology is routed in  a sort of radio wave with varying frequencies.  The two BlueTooth devices are “paired” together, and can then communicate.  The pairing process is pretty simple, and is more or less means you’re making each device agree to talk to the other, and vice versa.

There are great details (greatly in depth, that is, not like “Wow! Great!”) on the BlueTooth website: BlueTooth.com

Where does the name BlueTooth come from?  It gets its name from Harald Bluetooth, who was the king of Denmark in the late 900s. Under his rule, he achieved many important triumphs, including uniting Denmark and Norway and introducing Christianity. Bluetooth is named after this king to show the importance of bringing together different devices and communicating with one another.
