THE MODERN TECHNOLOGY CALLED BLUETOOTH WAS NAMED AFTER A POWERFUL VIKING KING CALLED HARALD BLUETOOTH.

Judging from movies and TV shows, books, novels, comics and even stories told, Vikings have usually been perceived as barbaric and horrible looters whose mercilessness and unmerciful nature were notable over the ancient times.

In any case, with the unearthing of more archeological proof about the unbelievable thieves of the North, it appears that they were not as savage as portrayed by others throughout the centuries.

In spite of the fact that the Viking's rough assaults are what the vast majority consider to start with, their way of life was in reality much more unpredictable, and indeed, it cleared out a significant effect on different societies and districts all finished Europe and particularly in the United Kingdom.

The demystification of the Vikings, who are known as a standout amongst other traders of the era incorporates some fascinating certainties about their social and mechanical effect as they regularly settled gently and lived in relative concordance with others. Among the numerous things we owe to the Vikings are the endless Norse words installed in present day English and obviously the establishing of the city of Dublin. In any case, their social effect keeps flourishing in current circumstances and incidentally, Bluetooth innovation was really named after a Viking lord known as Harald Blåtand (Harald Bluetooth).

Throughout the years, trading wireless information has turned into a basic piece of our regular day to day existences and it is on account of the Bluetooth innovation created by Ericsson scientists in 1994 that we can do this. As indicated by the Ericsson site, the scientists who made the now profitable innovation really believed that the name would be transitory and utilized it as a code name while taking a shot at the venture. At the point when the venture was done and a changeless name must be picked, a few were proposed, including RadioWire and PAN (Personal Area Networking), yet they ended sticking with Bluetooth.

The king whose name they used was as extraordinary at connecting individuals as the innovation is in connecting device. The correct year of King Harald Bluetooth's introduction to the world is still a matter of debate, yet most historician agree that it was around the year 912. What is known without a doubt is that Harald Bluetooth was the more younger son of Gorm the Old and Queen Thyra and was the man in charge of the unification of the fractions of Denmark with those in south Sweden and in Norway. He had his way with words and knew how to use them to bring people together in a non-violent meetings. He also knew how to communicate at ease with different people.

His epithet, Bluetooth, first showed up in the Roskilde Chronicle from 1140 and there are a few diverting clarifications. As indicated by one story, it is on the grounds that the lord had an attaching tooth that appeared to be blue in colour.

The Ericsson site expresses another probability that King Harald I of Denmark loved eating blueberries so much he had blue teeth.

A third, yet not less intriguing theory expresses that he frequently wore blue dress, signifying his royal status.

Giving a name to the now well known technology was not a simple errand and once the Swedish media communications company Ericsson chose that Bluetooth was the satisfactory name, it required a logo. The starting point logo is similarly as cool as the narrative of the name and on the off chance that you believed that it essentially represented the letter "B" composed with some bizarre textual style, you are incorrect.

The notable logo is really made up from Nordic runes of Harald's initials: "H" and "B."

The time of King Harald "Bluetooth" Blåtand's death is likewise a matter of civil argument. It is believed that the acclaimed Viking ruler died around the time of 986, in the wake of being injured in an uprising against him, supposedly masterminded by his own son Sweyn.

Aside from his historical significance, today the name of Bluetooth has turned into a commonly recognized name because of the technology named after the ruler.
