I hate wires. In fact, I dislike having them within the vicinity of my computer, if I can get away with it. Why the violent reaction? Wires make your life pure torture, keeping you rooted to one spot, immobilizing you, all because the wires cannot permit you much room and roaming space. Have you ever sorted out entangled wires? I have seen people getting a kick out of deciphering how to get those knots off because they have all the time in the world to do it. Unfortunately, when you are pressed for time, and you can’t seem to find which wire goes where, then it definitely can be quite frustrating.

It’s a good thing someone had the ingenuity and sense to invent gadgets with Bluetooth ® capabilities. Blue what? Bluetooth®. This name is synonymous in this present world of technology for being wireless. Yes, no wires. Isn’t that great! A wide range of products are now equipped with this wireless capability, definitely make your life, and mine, of course, a lot easier.

A lot of people are not familiar with this capability. They even do not know that the mobile phone that they are using has it. They just see that flashing icon that looks like a B or an inverted eyemask. So what is Bluetooth®? Bluetooth ® is the ability of a gadget to transmit information or communicate to another gadget, without the use of wires within a certain area. This capability covers mobile phones, earpieces, computers, keyboards, mouse, headsets, PDAs, printers, fax machines and other gadgets that may require it. For it to work properly, the gadgets should be in proximity to each other, but not necessarily touching each other, such as the infrared capability.

With this Bluetooth® technology, we can all say goodbye to wires, well at least within your room or house. Furthermore, even with this kind of technology, our security is not compromised. Even if you are able to receive frequencies from a Bluetooth® enabled device, you can still choose whether or not to communicate with that device or not, especially when you are in a public place and you do not know who owns it. This is to ensure that you would not receive any virus or malicious files on your gadget via Bluetooth®.

What I really like about having Bluetooth® is that I can synchronize my laptop, mobile phone, digital camera, and PDA without the hassle of plugging it to each other. I just need to enable the capability, then I can do whatever I need to do with them. What’s more is that it doesn’t cost me a thing, well except of course, buying the Bluetooth® enabled gadget. I can send files, talk over the phone, and even print documents through Bluetooth® without worrying of the cost per minute. How about power? What about it? It only consumes a minute amount of power that you won’t even have to be concerned over it.

In my world of no wires, I have found life to be simpler with a lot less stress. I still hate wires, but at least there is something better to replace it.
