This is the final segment of my three part Wireless Technologies series. Today’s wireless technology is called Bluetooth. Despite how suggestive the title might be, Bluetooth is not the condition that you get when you enjoy a blue popsicle or blueberries. However, if your tongue could turn blue from using Bluetooth technology, wouldn’t that be the coolest thing ever?!
