The Year 2000 was probably the richest with announcements for new Bluetooth devices. For example, a solution for a wireless data transfer from laptop to printer was introduced this year.
In the same year, also introduced, was yet another device for wireless laptops, handheld computers, printers, and cell phones - a Bluetooth USB Adapter. Bluetooth USB adapters remain popular today.
Also in 2000 a Bluetooth watch was introduced, which you could wear on your wrist and use it to control a notebook computer that was equipped with a Bluetooth-chip. For example, the letters, typed on a laptop keyboard, could be displayed on the screen of a watch, and vice versa. As years went by, this particular novelty did not receive wide recognition. However, the concept of the Bluetooth watch was very impressive.
Also new for 2000 was an automobile control system, based on Bluetooth technology. The Bluetooth device would connect to the internal network of a car, allowing you to lock and unlock the doors of the car with a laptop or a cell phone. Bluetooth car control systems became popular with time.
What other Bluetooth devices can you find today? The selection is truly impressive, including: Bluetooth rear view car mirror controls, handsfree car kits with text to speech technology, Bluetooth cordless phones, PlayStation 3 Bluetooth headsets, and many other exciting and useful devices.
Many Bluetooth devices have become part of our lives. Now, let's try to push our fantasy further, and see, what else can be achieved with powerful Bluetooth technologies.
One of the ideas may be a "home of the future" - something that you could only see in popular science fiction movies.
What would it be like to have a home, equipped with Bluetooth technology? Imagine the following: domestic household items that are all equipped with Bluetooth chips, including: the doors, lights, TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, microwave oven, and so on. You have a Bluetooth console, which you can either carry in your pocket, or even as a wrist watch. This console would allow you to manage all these devices. Your Bluetooth console does not necessarily have to work as a remote control; you could also manage it with your voice. The central computer of your home, equipped with a Bluetooth-chip, would recognize the voice commands from your Bluetooth console, when you command: "Lights on", "Air-conditioning, full-power", "TV- channel 3", etc. It's fantastic, isn't it? And yet, it is achievable with Bluetooth technology.
Bluetooth offers great opportunities for inventors. Starting from 1998, we have seen numerous devices, equipped with Bluetooth technology. Some of these devices became popular and keep improving, while other devices did not receive recognition and were forgotten. Most likely, in the near future, we will see many new exciting uses of the Bluetooth technology.
