Bluetooth : A significant advancement in network technology

There has been a plethora of advancements in networking technology over the past decade that have greatly impacted the way people live each day. One advancement in particular would be Bluetooth, which was invented by a group of engineers at a Swedish company named Ericsson in 1988. Bluetooth is used to transfer data over short distances using radio transmissions. The main intent for Bluetooth was to communicate between cell phones, computers, and peripherals. It can be utilized as ad hoc networks, data and voice access points, and cable replacement purposes. Due to the low price Bluetooth is a great technology that can be utilized to make everyday operations easier. Some of the advantages of Bluetooth are wireless headset connectivity and media transfers from mobile devices. Disadvantages of Bluetooth include battery power/poor security and slow data.

When Bluetooth is enabled it continuously searches for new devices to connect with which depletes battery power in the process. The consumption of batter power usually occurs with cellphones but also with other devices such as media players. When Bluetooth is not in use it should be turned off in order to preserve battery power. Not only does turning off Bluetooth when not in use save battery power, it also limits the risk of hackers accessing the users data without permission. This leads to another issue of poor security. Bluetooth security is weak compared to Wi-Fi and unwanted users can gain access if they’re in a close proximity. If a cable were used instead of Bluetooth, battery consumption would be normal and the threat of hackers gaining access to the users data would be

  • The Pros and Cons of Cellphones

    2867 Words  | 6 Pages

    When I began this project of cellular communications. I was very focused on trying to prove that cellphones are bad. I saw people all over the Community College’s campus with their heads down, their headphones on, or their phone to their ear. No one seemed to be “here” anymore. Everyone was involved in their own worlds that others were not invited to, and they seemed to prefer it that way.

  • Radio

    Radio-wave technology is one of the most important technologies used by man. It has forever changed the United States and the world, and will continue to do so in the future. Radio has been a communications medium, a recreational device, and many other things to us. When British physicist James Clerk Maxwell published his theory of electromagnetic waves in 1873, he probably never could have envisioned the sorts of things that would come of such a principle. His theory mainly had to do with light waves, but fifteen years later, a German physicist named Heinrich Hertz was able to electrically generate MaxwellÕs ÒraysÓ in his lab. The discovery of these amazing properties, the later invention of a working wireless radio, and the resulting technology have been instrumental to AmericaÕs move into the Information Age. The invention of radio is commonly credited to Guglielmo Marconi, who, starting in 1895, developed the first ÒwirelessÓ radio transmitter and receiver. Working at home with no support from his father, but plenty from his mother, Marconi improved upon the experiments and equipment of Hertz and others working on radio transmission. He created a better radio wave detector or cohere and connected it to an early type of antenna. With the help of his brothers and some of the neighborhood boys he was able to send wireless telegraph messages over short distances. By 1899 he had established a wireless communications link between England and France that had the ability to operate under any weather conditions. He had sent trans-Atlantic messages by late 1901, and later won the Nobel prize for physics in 1909. Radio works in a very complicated way, but hereÕs a more simple explanation than youÕll get from most books: Electromagnetic waves of different wavelengths are produced by the transmitter, and modulations within each wavelength are adjusted to carry ÒencodedÓ information. The receiver, tuned to read the frequency the transmitter is sending on, then takes the encoded information (carried within the wave modulations), and translates it back into the sensory input originally transmitted. Many of the men who pioneered radio had designs for it. Marconi saw it as the best communication system and envisioned instant world-wide communication through the air. David Sarnoff ( later the head of RCA and NBC) had a vision of Òa radio receiver in every homeÓ in 1916, although the real potential of radio wasnÕt realized until after World War I.

  • The Pros and Cons of Cell Phones

    The effects of technology on society will always be a double edged sword. The debate is a never ending one, in which both sides have valid and compelling arguments. The Industrial Revolution reduced manual labor in the long run, but had negative consequences such as child labor and sweatshop conditions. Nuclear Power reduces the cost of producing energy, but raises serious environmental issues like pollution and radiation. In this day in age refusing to assimilate to at least some form of modern living is simply not an option. One invention causing controversy today that has yet to cease being alter, modified, and “improved” since its debut is the ever present cell phone.

It has brought gaming to a whole different level and now people can literally talk to each other while seeing their avatar or player on screen. This has changed gaming companies because now it is much bigger and they make more money because of this feature (technology). Without the wireless headphones gaming wouldn’t be as popular because it would force gamers into playing alone and not as a community of friends. It has changed the way we use telephones too. Now we can put it on our head and talk in to it while hearing what the other person is saying. This use of the wireless headphones isn’t that big yet but in the future I think it will be because people still use hand held phones.

This episode is number three in a series and is very similar to Professor Green’s portion of the lecture titled “The Dark Side of the Internet” on CANVAS, because it clearly presents both advantages and disadvantages of Computer Mediated Communication or CMC (Green “Dark”; Podcast). The podcast also reinforces the definition of Interpersonal Relationships as those having a degree of interdependence among the participants (Green “Penetration”; Child, Pearson, and Nelson 39; Podcast).

  • The Benefits and Dangers of Cell Phones

    One of the greatest inventions created in the modern world is the cell phone or is it not? The cell phone has been rapidly growing for many years. A cell phone is necessary and important. Using a cell phone to communicate with family, business and in emergency is an excellent way of communicating, but on the other hand, cell phone is a distraction. With the invention of the cell phone there have been both good and bad results, where people will always be a source of communication during emergency, while a cell phone usage has become the main source of car accident. According to a 2008 study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 6000 are killed in cell phone related to accidents while driving. Cell phones have become a reason why millions of people disagreed with cell phone being banned while driving. But some people always need a source to communicate during emergency.
