Much sport has been made of certain groups of people who exist alongside the rest of us in this great American melting pot. Or salad bowl. Or whatever it is. There’s nothing malicious about it, really, it just so happens that certain things in life are often times giggled at no matter what… Like exterminators. Or people who smoke pipes. Or those who go around wearing their Bluetooth earpiece.

Productivity a Plus

The underlying jealousy, as betrayed by the accompanying disdain, is understandable. People with careers understand that Bluetooth isn’t just a hands-free listening device (although it does an exceptional job serving that purpose). It connects your phone to your PDA, or to your printer, or to your computer. The amount of time and trouble saved by Bluetooth is reflected by their success in a market where innovation leads the way.

Wi-Fi… Wi Not?

Wireless USB adapters, which link all your other stuff to your computer no matter where you are, make Bluetooth possible in the first place. It is an obvious and logical extension of the technological line which has grown from room-sized restrictions on routers to mobile broadband on demand. It was the immediate predecessor to the Smart Phone, the last big drop on the slippery slope to computers being completely swallowed up in the palm of your hand.

So who cares if the Bluetooth earpiece also saves a few lives on the road every year? With so many other uses, it routinely pays for itself, and is considered an essential commodity by many of its customers… Like metal detectors are. Or model trains. With USB connectivity, no matter what your walk of life might be, Bluetooth technology has made possible an offer that is genuinely open to virtually anyone.
