On more than one occasion you have heard me express my skepticism on the beneficial effects of technology on our culture. Proponents obviously claim it has a positive effect, and proudly point at the capacity, speed, and sizzle embedded in such things as computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices, but I’m still not convinced. For example:

* We can communicate with anyone on the planet at any time from just about anywhere (and too often we do), yet we haven’t got anything useful to say or say it at the wrong time and place.

Bluetooth wireless networking is a technology that is sweeping the globe and being integrated into a wide variety of electronic devices these days. The underlying Bluetooth technology was developed in the mid 1990s and began to be seen in more and more pieces of equipment toward the end of the decade.

The developers of Bluetooth, Ericsson (which has since become Sony Ericsson), endeavored to create a single standard for wireless technology networking that could be easily and inexpensively integrated into various electronic devices for ease of connectivity. Having a single standard shared by all electronic developers, designers and manufacturers was the ideal because it would allow the end user to enjoy wireless networking of their devices, regardless of who manufactured the electronic item.

Ericsson made a strategically brilliant decision in the early days of Bluetooth wireless networking technology. They decided to make the Bluetooth specifications available free of charge to companies that were interested in developing and implanting the technology into their products. This created a spirit of cooperation amongst the developers.

This has helped to make ... Read More >>
