History of the Bluetooth Earpiece

Posted on December 14, 1984 Updated on September 29, 2014

While many of our visitors will be excited about some of our own content pieces, here is one i discovered whilst rummaging around edu blogs that is much better written than I might ever dream to achieve. Maybe someday I’ll get to their rank, you never know.

Harold Bluetooth, the ancient king of Denmark, would be proud of the communications technology that bears the name Bluetooth. Long ago, old Bluetooth united the dissonant Danish tribes (possibly with the promise of easier peer-to-peer file sharing, and Bluetooth headsets I can’t be sure).

Today, Bluetooth is a massive communications juggernaut, and though Bluetooth technology has potentially millions of applications, it seem that Bluetooth is primarily used for connecting your phone to your ear so you can talk loudly in restaurants.

The obvious advantages of this aside, the Bluetooth headset is a spectacular piece of gadgetry, that makes driving safer, conversations both easier and more private and stops you having to fumble in your pocket when your Mum rings as your riding on the bus (Just me? Oh). Yes, the Bluetooth headset has truly revolutionised the way we annoy people in restaurants. Oh, and completely changed the possibilities of mobile communications forever, or something.

As Harold himself might have said; “I go everywhere with my Bluetooth headset. I never leave my castle without it” and he’d be right not to, for the usefulness of the faithful little Bluetooth headset is tremendous. Perfect for travelling, working or even looking busy so salespeople don’t stop you.

An innocuous little device, the Bluetooth headset fits easily in your pocket or pretty much anywhere. Taking advantage of Bluetooth is as simple as buying a Bluetooth headset and connecting it to your phone. Bluetooth is a safe, secure and simple way of keeping in touch.
