Bluetooth's history beginns in 1994 with Ericsson's project to replace wired connections with a short-range wireless technology, which was named after the 10th-century Danish king Harald Bluetooth, who unified tribes of Denmark and Norway, reflecting Bluetooth's goal of uniting devices. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) was formed in 1998 by founding companies Ericsson, Intel, Nokia, IBM, and Toshiba to standardize and promote the technology. The first Bluetooth specification, version 1.0, was released in 1999, and the technology has since evolved with multiple versions and profiles, enhancing data transfer speeds, power management, and audio capabilities. My first personal contact with this technology was at the CEBiT fair in spring 2000, where I worked one week for a promotion team of the BOSCH mobile phone branch, while I was still an EEIT student myself. https://www.mobilephonemuseum.com/catalogue
"When we begin to realize that we are looking through the point of view of our reality tunnels, we find that it is much easier to understand where other people are coming from ... - ... they just have a different reality tunnel and every reality tunnel might tell us something interesting about our world, if we are willing to listen." --- Robert Anton Wilson
