Bluetooth
technology is named in honor of King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark who
united Denmark and part of Norway into a single kingdom in the late
900s.
Today's
electronic devices connect and communicate with one another in
different ways by means of cables and wires, radio signals, and
infrared. A newly introduced method of connecting devices and
peripherals and making them communicate seamlessly with each other is
called Bluetooth. A Bluetooth connection is wireless and automatic
thereby simplifying and streamlining the connection and communication
process between Bluetooth-enabled devices.
