Bluetooth technology has been around since 1998 where five companies Ericsson, Nokia, IBM, Intel, and Toshiba formed into The Bluetooth Special Interest group other known as (SIG). Bluetooth is a proprietary open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distance. Back in 1998 this was the future of wireless technology and even after 13 years of being around it still is the future of technology.
Bluetooth has come a long way from where it first began. When I was growing up I noticed these tiny little earpieces in peoples ears, mostly business workers. At the time I didn't know that the tiny little earpiece was synced up to their cellular device.
Bluetooth is knowing coming built into your vehicle. This feature allows you to sync your contacts on your smartphone to your vehicle's contact book. This allows the driver to push one single button and say the person’s name they wish to call. The car will search through the contacts and find the person and call them for you. This is safer for the driver because it allows the drive to focus more on the road in front of them rather then trying to find the person they wish to call.
Another way Bluetooth is becoming big is that it is now being put into your home. This allows the homeowner to control the lights, the temperature, and their security system right from their smartphone. This is great for homeowners that are away a lot either on business or a vacation.
Bluetooth is coming up with new ways to use they technology with other devices and technology. The way Bluetooth is heading we might use Bluetooth in our everyday lives. So get ready there are more surprises to come either tomorrow or even 5 years from now. Bluetooth is still the future of technology.

I think it was very informative of Wes to give an overview and back round of the company. It gave you a good idea of what Bluetooth actually was and would be easier to follow the rest of his work. Along with Wes all i thought Bluetooth was was the small ear pieces in your phones and that was it but it is much more than that now. I also talked about how it impacted cars and the home. He was right when he talked about the safety for the driver with the fully hands free calling now in vehicles. Was also a good overview about how task and appliances can be operated by Bluetooth software in homes now.
