One of the many inventions that have changed people’s lives in the twenty first century is the blue tooth technology. This invention has made countless numbers of people’s lives simpler and more fulfilling. For example blue tooth has made using a cell phone as easy as talking to the person in front of you all you have to do is hit the button on the earpiece and start talking. This same technology has made talking on your phone in the car many times less dangerous than if you had the phone in your hand while driving. This has decreased the amount of accidents involving cell phones and driving. Blue tooth has other application other than hands free cell phone use, such as wireless headphones for your iPod and wireless controllers for the x box and play station three. Most of the wireless technology that exists today is due to the application of blue tooth technology.

Blue tooth technology has also managed to cross market itself to multiple arenas of the technology markets by making itself interchangeable with many popular technological innovations of today. Not only is blue tooth technology able to be used alongside a wide variety of cell phones, Apple, Droid, or Blackberry, but also in conjunction with laptop computers and gaming consoles. Having music playing while one is playing a video game is mandatory for most “serious” gamers, regardless of the feelings of those people around them who may not want to listen to their music and often echoing gun shots. Blue tooth is the answer to that. By having a device that can quietly allow the gamer to listen to the sounds of their video game and the music that they like all in a compact wireless device as made blue tooth a necessity for both video gamers and parents alike.

One of the major attributes of the Apple Corporation is the ITunes component of their business. It has been the backbone of one of the biggest and most innovative companies dominating the technology market today. Blue tooth has managed to adapt its product to interface with ITunes and allow its user to listen to music they have downloaded through that system in a small, compact device that connects wirelessly to their cell phone or IPod. People who need to have their hands free and be free of wires which have the potential to tangle up their range of motion, prefer the Bluetooth technology. This wireless feature has made it a necessity to both gamers and working people alike.
