The origins of the term “Bluetooth”

admin · 2019-12-30T02:29:23+0000

As it turns out, the ubiquitous wireless technology’s name has nothing to do with being blue or tooth-like in appearance and has everything to do with medieval Scandinavia. Harald Bluetooth was the Viking king of Denmark between 958 and 970. King Harald was famous for uniting parts of Denmark and Norway into one nation and converting the Danes to Christianity. So, what does a turn-of-the-last-millennium Viking king have to do with wireless communication? He was a uniter! So his name was given to the wireless link that unites and connects so many devices together. The Bluetooth logo is also a combination of “H” and “B” , the initials of Harald Bluetooth written in the ancient letters (runes) used by vikings (picture below)

  You are just wrapped too tight, Georgie. I just like to deflate your pompous nebulosity and agenda driven view of life, the Universe, and Everything. You think you are the boss and everyone else but you is stupid, as you constantly argue false premises and distorted reality.

  From an individual who seems unapologetically self-absorbed, I must inform you that your perspective carries little significance. Therefore, feel free to express yourself vehemently and indulge in immature behavior. Keep in mind that God is aware of your intricate malicious intentions. Remember, the consequences are a result of your own actions, leaving no one else to hold accountable but you.

  … and donchew forget now … the GB now allows Sisters to come to meetings and go out in field service in slacks or Mumus. Or slacks AND Mumus, if poundage appropriate. Did I ever mention I once dated a Sister that made Mumus out of parachutes? She was an Opera singer, and had a UN diplomatic passport. She was on “speed”, couldn’t blink, and typed 600 words a minute with 100% errors. Occasionally she would get lipstick in her eyebrows.

  In my perspective, when the Smithsonian Magazine covers a topic, I am inclined to trust their expertise. As for the shadows here, I see no benefit in entertaining irrational ideas from others. Let them hold onto their own beliefs. We shouldn't further enable their self-deception and misleading of the public.
