What Is Bluetooth Technology?Bluetooh tehcnology is a short-range wireless radio technology that allows electronic devices to connect to one another. Bluetooth is surrounds us in oureveryday life as it is present in our computers, cell phones, PDAs and also in some printers. How did This peculiar name "Bluetooth" arise?The term "Bluetooth" was simply used as a code name in the beginning until its users got used to it. However the word "Bluetooth originally came from the family name of a Danish King called Harald Bluetooth, he was an influential figure in uniting Scandinavian Europe. The reason why this name fitted was because Bluetooth Technology began in Scandinavia and because it wass able to unite different industries Why Has Bluetooth Technology Become Greatly Favoured Nowadays?Firstly, The Bluetooth's short-range wirless radio waves disccussed earlier act like cables. The cables used to connect a computer to a mouse, keyboard oreven a printer can all be raplaced by Bluetooth technology. This replacement provides efficency at home or at the workplace since the troubles of gettingthe cables tangles and not knowing which cable goes where are all solved. It can be also called a cable-replacement technologyWho Are The StakeHolders of Bluetooth Technology?The Genesis of Bluetooth technology can be traced back to the company 'Ericsson.' Later on a plethora of electronic manafacturers collaborated to improve this technology. Microsoft, Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Agere, Motorola, Nokia, and Toshiba where the stakeholders of this technology that joined together to formthe Bluetooth Special Intrest Group (SIG).What Is The IT Background Of Bluetooth?Bluetooth is a small radio chip that can be embedded into computers, cell phones, etc. This bluetooth chip then takes the informtation that is normallycarried by cables and transmits it at a special frequency to a reciever Bluetooth chip. What Are The Ethical Issues To Be Considered?Bluetooth technology, like others, faces security threats. It is true, hackers can break into bluetooth-enabled devices, however the good news is: it isn't so easy. Bluetooth security relies on the short distance between two paired devices and their PIN code. According to the SIG, a hacker mustForce two paired Bluetooth devices to break their connectionSteal the packets used to resend the PIN, thenDecode the PIN
