Did you know fact about Bluetooth by WDC

“Bluetooth” technology was named after a 10th-century king, King Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson. He united Denmark and Norway, just like the technology united computers and cell phones.

The story behind the naming of Bluetooth technology dates back to the late 1990s. In 1996, Jim Kardach, an engineer at Intel, was working on a project to develop a short-range wireless communication standard. To create a memorable name for the technology, he drew inspiration from King Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson, who ruled in the 10th century.

King Harald, who reigned from around 958 to 986 AD, is known for uniting tribes in Denmark and Norway, much like how Bluetooth aimed to unite various devices, such as computers and mobile phones. The idea was to create a standard that would enable seamless communication between devices, which was a significant innovation at the time.

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) was formed in May 1998, and the technology was officially launched in 1999. The connection to King Harald served as a symbolic reminder of unity and collaboration in the tech world. The Bluetooth logo incorporates the initials of the king in runic form, further solidifying the historical connection.

How to use social media wisely and profitably

On By MaufemorIn MauTechLeave a comment

Social media is a fantastic tool for networking, communications, awareness raising, and marketing. We use it widely and we promote it to all of our clients and students. However, even social media has a risky side, with fake profiles sometimes being used to gather personal data and business information. Here are some top tips for safe social media use:

Be careful who you friend – don’t automatically trust friend requests from strangers
Be careful what you post – remember that almost anything you post can be re-posted
Avoid ideology unless you plan to be active in the public domain
Manage your profile – only include the things you really want others to know
Consider your security settings thoughtfully – what controls will you put in place?
Think before posting images – do you want your relatives or employer to see them?
Think before tagging others – do they want to be tagged online?
Don’t trust every link you see – some can take you to infected sites. #MauTech
