Woman: Bluetooth.
Man: This is the name given to the strange ear piece that you see many drivers wearing today, looking as though they are walking around on Star Trek. For example:
Woman: What on earth have you got on your ear?
Man: It’s my new Bluetooth. Look my phone’s ringing and no hands, it even knows if I’m at home or in my car.

Woman: Lap top computers.
Man: This is a portable computer. Lap means the top part of your legs, and that is where the name originates from, as you put it on your lap or a table to work on when you are out of your office or home. Listen to these 2 examples:
Woman: I don’t know what I’d do without my laptop, it’s so handy, I can work on the train, at the beach, it’s even connected to my Bluetooth.
Man: I preferred life before laptops, I knew when my boss gave me one, he expected me to do even more work after office hours.

Woman: Wireless technology.
Man: This literally means no wires. For example, telephones and remote controls. Bluetooth networking is also wireless, and transmits data via low-power radio waves. Listen to this short conversation:
Woman: I wish things had wires on still, I can’t find the phone or the remote control.
Man: Stop moaning, you love wireless technology, before you used to complain that you had to sit on the stairs to talk on the phone. The problem now is, you wander around the house chatting away, and forget where you put things.
Woman: Unite a wide range of devices.
Man: A device is another word for a piece of equipment. The expression to unite a wide range of devices means to connect a lot of different pieces of equipment together. For example:
Woman: My Bluetooth is amazing it unites my mobile phone to my house phone and all my computers it always knows where I am
Man: I don’t understand this device, I have techno-phobia.

Woman: Now let’s listen to the development of the fascinating blue tooth technology, adapted from devhood.com.
Bluetooth technology can unite a wide range of devices such as laptop computers and mobile phones together wirelessly

But how did this strange name originate? In 994, a group of engineers from Ericsson developed the technology to connect mobile phones to their accessories wirelessly. Then, in 998, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group was formed, and it included industry giants such as IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba, who then joined Ericsson. The group worked on developing a technology that would connect multiple hardware and software platforms.

This project was named Bluetooth after the Danish Viking Harald Blatand, who united and controlled Denmark and Norway during the 0th century Translated, the name “Blatand” means “Bluetooth.”
