Bluetooth is one invention from the EOTO presentations that I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about. Bluetooth is a tool that is used in almost everyone’s day to day life. Many people use bluetooth when driving or doing simple activities like cleaning or doing homework. Bluetooth has given people the chance to listen to music, podcasts, or any type of media whenever they want to.
One interesting fact I learned about Bluetooth is that it is named after a Viking who had an actual blue tooth. Growing up, I always wondered where the name Bluetooth came from and now I finally have the answer. I was also shocked to learn that Bluetooth is a more recent invention, dating back to the first Bluetooth model made in 1998. I had previously thought Bluetooth was invented in the 80’s but didn’t become very technologically advanced until the 2000’s. Learning about the origin of Bluetooth was something that sparked my interest and gave me a deeper insight to the invention of this technology I use on a day to day basis.
I personally use Bluetooth mainly for the purpose of streaming music. I am always listening to music in the car, in the shower, doing homework, cleaning my dorm, or when I workout. Music helps me to focus on the task I am working on and it acts as a white noise to my brain. Also, instead of a TV, me and my roommates watch movies and shows on a Bluetooth projector. The projector connects to our phones, computers, or Ipad’s via Bluetooth. Buying a Bluetooth projector was a much cheaper option than buying a TV for our living room and has made watching movies and shows more fun and nostalgic. Without Bluetooth, none of this would be possible. Bluetooth has also made it easier for people to communicate when traveling long distances. Apple Carplay is a major use of Bluetooth that can now be found in many cars. Carplay allows people to connect their phone to their car, which makes it safer for the driver to have phone calls while traveling. With the advancement of technology, Bluetooth will only continue to make lives easier.
I believe Bluetooth has been an amazing invention that impacts society in a positive way. It has made it easier for me and other citizens to enjoy music on the go and has provided safety benefits when driving. I believe Bluetooth will only advance in the future, allowing people to connect many devices to other devices for easier streaming use. I enjoyed the presentation about Bluetooth and it has given me a better understanding of this technology that I use every day.
