Bluetooth-No Wires Needed

                Since the invention of Bluetooth technology, products compatible with this product have been both enhanced and expanded. Bluetooth has helped make many electronics more effective or user friendly. Specifically, Bluetooth technology has successfully provided a way to drive safely while still being able to use a cell phone for calls. By using a Bluetooth wireless headset in conjunction with hands-free car systems, a driver can now talk on the phone, use speak-to-talk technology, or play music without the hassle of cables or cords. Bluetooth technology is helping reduce the annual rate of car accidents that occur from driver distraction when using a cell phone, and is overall making the roads safer for other drivers. Additionally, Bluetooth technology has several other uses for vehicles. Bluetooth enabled GPS devices, and MP3 adapters provide easy and hassle free travels. One unique product which has especially shaped the medical and car industry is the Bluetooth Health Monitor. People who have Diabetes can now feel more comfortable driving when using this product, as the monitor constantly measures the driver’s blood-glucose levels. In general, Bluetooth looks out for the health, safety, and well-being of drivers through state-of-the-art wireless technology.
                Bluetooth does not just enhance cars. Bluetooth also betters personal health and fitness through the use of Body Monitor products. Body monitors can be used by professional athletes, or those who are simply looking to boost their daily workout routine. Pedometers, Heart Rate Monitors, and watches are just a few Bluetooth sensory inspired items which help improve workout results. Because the Bluetooth company devotes a heavy focus to health and fitness, many athletes will rely, trust and utilize this form of wireless technology. Body monitors provide immediate results and feedback, a feature that an athlete or a health conscious individual feels is important or essential to their personal improvement.
                As you can see, Bluetooth technology is just about everywhere. From cars to treadmills, Bluetooth has the ability to impact a wide range of people. I personally feel that Bluetooth shapes today’s technology as their products are so versatile and useful. As discussed in class, information systems are everywhere. Bluetooth devices are comprised of various info systems that serve a variety of purposes for the consumer. I think that Bluetooth products will only continue to grow and better our world in the future.
