Bluetooth
SIG stands for the Bluetooth Specialist Interest group. This group was founded in 1998 in September. Blue tooth is privately held and owned and not-for-profit trade association. As of today Bluetooth has more than 15,000 company members today. It enables wireless connections between a huge variety of devices. “Bluetooth is an industry specification used to create small personal area networks”. (Rainer, Cegielski. Introduction to Information Systems. Page 248). When it comes to the Bluetooth technology it is simply for everyday ordinary users. It is applied into a lot of technologies that are very popular in today’s society. Some of the things that it is featured in are cell phones, cars and computers. The Bluetooth Company also offers one of the best securities for your blue tooth devices. These securities can protect everyday phone calls, over the phone bank transactions and personal or private information you want to be kept private. Data is kept secure with Bluetooth. One of the best features is that blue tooth is everywhere now. The technology is featured in billions of products everywhere. The ability of different uses of Bluetooth is the focus of connecting and communication.
Even though Bluetooth is known for featuring in a lot of products everywhere to a lot of people, the one that seems most helpful is Bluetooth inside cars and other vehicles. The company has moved up in technologies going forth their goal of completely hands free calling experience. The company first started towards this goal by eliminating wireless head sets and hands-free car systems. The new completely hands free is done so by speech recognition. It has other features like text- to speech and things called “speech triggers” that are verbal commands that will turn on your hands free devices. The new use of voice controls is what has really enhanced Bluetooth use is vehicles. The other products that have enhanced with Bluetooth technologies are ones for the home. The Bluetooth allows you to be able to control almost everything in you house simply and easily. Lets you control house temperatures, lights and household appliances. Along with this it is energy efficient since it is being run by the Bluetooth technologies. It also serves a good piece of entertainment to be able to control light settings and appliances for virtually anywhere in the household.

Before I looked at the Bluetooth website I had no idea of the new features they offered. I was impressed by the home market. I thought it was amazing that people can control their different appliances at their homes from their cell phones or online. I think this will be used a lot once more people get to know about it. I would like to have the ability to control all my household appliances from my cell phone, and I believe other people feel the same way. I also enjoyed learning about the text to speech feature. I agree with you that Bluetooth is most known for their car features like hands free calling. This is a very good feature to have in your car. It allows you to talk on the phone while driving, but it provides a save way of doing so.
