Bluetooth is 10 and Microchip is 50.
Tenth birthday of Bluetooth is being celebrated. Bluetooth, as you may know, is the short range wireless system used with Mobile phones, music players (iPod and clones) , PC peripherals like printers, and so on. Other competing technologies are WiMax and WiFi are more in demand now, for their speeds. However, the original short range technology is becoming more popular.
The Swedish firm Ericsson developed this technology in 1998, in collaboration with five other technology companies. The name of the technology was borrowed from the Danish King “Herald Bluetooth” ( who united Scandinavia in the 10th Century.).
Bluetooth, will certainly grow more in the days to come. Presence of other technologies are not a deterrent.
Microchips OR Integrated Circuits is the most revolutionary invention and development, after the invention of Transistors in the late 1950s. The first microchip was created by Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments, on Sept 12, 1958. It had a germanium transistor and some other components, glued on to a piece of glass, as a single unit. This ‘silly’ device revolutionalised the whole electronics technology and business.
Today, the chips integrate millions of transistors and components into a thin piece of silicon. This technology find its place in almost all our modern gadgets. Be it personal life, industry, or anything, ICs have a major role in it.
