- Every day, thanks to Bluetooth technology, people across the world can connect
- Wirelessly to listen to music, check out a podcast, or watch a movie. In the mid-1890, is
- developer - Intel engineer Jim Kardach—was trying to think up a name for the new

, which corespond to the initials of Harald Bluetooth,
