Bluetooth has become part of everyday life, from wireless headphones and speakers to keyboards, vehicles and fitness trackers.
But although it removes the need for cables, it doesn't always make life simpler!
Bluetooth was originally developed to help connect nearby electronic devices. Its name even comes from a Scandinavian king, Harald Bluetooth, who was associated with bringing different groups together.
One surprising fact is that Bluetooth is not automatically limited to 10 metres. Its range can be far greater depending on the equipment.
A few things to discuss:
- Do you prefer Bluetooth headphones and speakers, or are wired connections still more reliable?
- Have you experienced pairing problems, unexpected disconnections or audio delays?
- Do you use Bluetooth in your vehicle, and how reliable is it?
- Have Bluetooth accessories made life easier, or simply added more batteries to recharge?
- What is the most useful Bluetooth device you own?
