By Oscar S. Cartwright

Technological advancements are usually the combined efforts of many companies. They come together and create a new way to merge their already existing service across the boards into one simple device. For example Bluetooth wireless technology. One of the most useful utilizations of this new technology is the Bluetooth wireless headset available for certain phones.

Bluetooth technology has been around longer than most people realize. It was created in 1998 and is the combined efforts of numerous companies such as Ericsson, Intel, IBM, Toshiba, and Nokia. These leaders in telecommunications, networking, computing, automotive, and industrial automation were on the verge of a technological breakthrough. They merged to create the private trade association called Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). The SIG owns the trademark and licensing to the brands unique name and logo. The Bluetooth is named after Danish King Harald Bluetooth. During the 10 century he had a pivotal role in unifying Scandinavia during a time where it was ravished by wars. SIG felt Bluetooth was a fitting name because the technology is bridging the gap between many different industries such as the cell phone, computing, automotive, and media companies. It combines all these services into one simple radio frequency. The Bluetooth was established in Scandinavia so the SIG felt naming it after royalty would be acceptable. The logo was designed to represent the companys Scandinavian roots. It pays homage to Harald Bluetooths legacy. It was created by combining his initials into one simple symbol. In Runic alphabetic characters H looks like an asterisk. To give it a sharper look they curved the loops in the B.

Bluetooth wireless capabilities are one of the most recent additions to telecommunications. Bluetooth enables its users to wirelessly link up two devices utilizing short range radio frequencies. The frequencies allows its users a range of anywhere between 30 to up to 100 feet in most recent models. Bluetooth linkage is so simplistic with its applications that is has become the standard format for all wireless functionality in electronic devices.

Employing a Bluetooth wireless headset can greatly impact someones life for the better. One of the chief examples is talking on a cell phone while driving. Answering a cell phone while driving is extremely dangerous. You take your eyes off the road for even a quick moment and you can risk serious injury. Not only is it dangerous but using a cell phone while driving is illegal. The best way to relay important information on a phone will driving is using a Bluetooth wireless headset, this way you can answer your phone and continue to drive without any problem.

Also if you are performing an important task that needs your undivided attention speaking on the phone will impede your progress. Not only will you be distracted you will also lose the use of one hand since you have to hold the phone to your ear. With a headset youll be able to answer your phone and continue working without any hesitation.

Even though Bluetooth is a fairly recent introduction to technology it has taken the world by storm. The Bluetooth wireless headset is incredibly useful in everyday life.
