Cellulari - Lettura
In questa lezione scoprirai l’origine di una parola molto usata oggi.
Bluetooth technology can unite (unire) a wide range (gamma) of devices (apparecchiature) such as laptop computers (portatili) and mobile phones (cellulari) together wirelessly (senza fili).
But how did this strange name originate? In 1994, a group of engineers from Ericsson developed (sviluppò) the technology to connect mobile phones to their accessories wirelessly. Then, in 1998, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group was formed (venne formato), and it included industry giants (colossi) such as IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba, who then joined (si unirono a) Ericsson. The group worked on developing a technology that would connect (avrebbe collegato) multiple hardware and software platforms.
This project was named (fu chiamato) Bluetooth after (dal nome di) the Danish Viking Harald Blatand, who united and controlled Denmark and Norway during the 10th century (secolo). Translated (tradotto), the name “Blatand” means “Bluetooth.” (dente blu).

I've never paid attention to the name bluetooth, but now I recognize it seems very strange without an explanation. Thanks!
