Bluetooth Part 2


More and more states are beginning to implement rules that force drivers to go hands-free with their cell phones. More specifically, I’m referring to the Bluetooth headsets. The name Bluetooth is really a trademark of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). “Bluetooth technology is able to unite differing industries such as the cell phone, computing, and automotive markets. Bluetooth wireless technology simplifies and combines multiple forms of wireless communication into a single, secure, low-power, low-cost, globally available radio frequency” (Bluetomorrow). In the early stages of development there were many influential people who doubted Bluetooth and assumed that they would fade into obscurity over the next few years. Surprising many, Bluetooth has taken leaps in the last few years in building their technology. In 2004, Bluetooth version 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) was introduced. “The goal of Bluetooth is to establish a worldwide, universal "language" for devices. Bluetooth uses a standardized wireless protocol for devices to communicate. It forces devices to agree on when bits are sent, how many will be sent at a time, and how the devices in a conversation can be sure that the message received is the same as the message sent. So, you can be positive that any two devices using compatible Bluetooth will definitely be able to communicate with one another” (Bluetomorrow). The advancements that technology has made feel more like a foreign language than a common knowledge. Bluetooths use low power signals, relatively easy to manufacture, and also use low power radio wave signals. “By using the “hopping” method, a device will use one of 79 different, randomly chosen frequencies within an assigned range, and will frequently change frequencies from one to another” (Bluetomorrow). Not only is Bluetooth used as a way to communicate through phones, but also can be used for computers, projectors, and a variety of other things. It’s uses could be continually endless. (and yes, I know someone else did this, I’m elaborating)

  1. Bluetooth technology has been remarkable. It started with bigger instruments and now they are virtually invisible. This technology is a breakthrough in so many different ways. This technology can be used in phone, computers, gaming console and many more. This technology has cut down traffic accidents by cell phone users. Now you don't have to hold the phone in your hand. You can drive with this thing in sync to the phone and talk to it. This has been very helpful for preventing accidents for people who like to use phone while they drive. This technology is also used to heck into computers or connect the computer with your phone. This technology is also used in gaming console. They use this technology to make wireless controllers for more pleasure for users. This technology affects our everyday life in a huge way.

  2. Bluetooth technology today is very helpful and comfortable. The headsets were really popular in the younger generation when they first came out. But Bluetooth also connects phone to phone and also allows you to transfer ringtones, wall papers, text etc. another good thing about it is that it is very useful in states like New Jersey where talking on the phone while driving is illegal but it is allowed if you are completely hands free.
