This image has come to represent a technology that is making a huge impact on what we can do wireless. Bluetooth headsets got rid of the need for a wired headset to communicate. These Bluetooth headsets have a wireless connection to the device and allow the signal to be transmitted from the phone to the headset so that the headset can be used to talk rather than holding the phone up to your ear and communicating that way. But having the ability to send a wireless signal from one device to another is not just a phone to headset thing. The technology is now added to many other technologies. Wireless keyboards are becoming more and more popular especially with Apple making the wireless keyboard a standard feature with their desktop computers. There are even cases with built in Bluetooth keyboards for the iPad.
This keyboard case takes the Bluetooth capability of the iPad or other tablets and connects with its own Bluetooth sensor in the case allowing the operator to type from a keyboard rather than the onscreen keyboard. With the ability to connect wireless to a keyboard it allows also for more versatility in the field or away from home. For example if you are out of your house and have your tablet with the Bluetooth keyboard cases you can type faster and more accurately than working with the onscreen keyboard. People are use to a keyboard and taking note on a lecture or for an interview requires some fast typing. With Bluetooth people are able to type faster making for a better experience.

Bluetooth as a company offers these types of products as well as others that use wireless technology to interact 2 or more technologies to link them together so they can operate together. Bluetooth works with all manufacturers of technology from Apple to Microsoft and Lenovo and all other major technology manufacturers. With a large customer base and compatibility with all brands Bluetooth technology is taking away the need for a wired mouse and keyboard for your desktop as well as the need for a set of headphones connected to your phone to talk to someone. With Bluetooth technology all you need is 2 compatible technologies that can connect with one another and that frees you from the tangled mess of wiring and brings organization back to your life.

This post on bluetooth taught me a lot. I only thought bluetooth could be used in a car to talk to people hands free I did not know it could be used for more! I did not know that the wireless keyboard you use for an ipad uses bluetooth technology. Using a wireless keyboard is so much easier on the iPad, rather than using the touch screen. It makes it faster and more efficient. Bluetooth just keeps coming out with more and more making technology grow quickly. Ultimately, making life so much easier for us. Soon enough everything will be hands free and so easy
