The Bluetooth technology is a wireless communication that operates as radio waves, using a band set at 2.4GHz. This frequency is available at no charge. The Bluetooth technology allows two devices to connect wirelessly with each other, and incorporates the use of “Centrino” chips. These chips are available easily in most standard electronic devices such as laptops, cellular phones, computers, headsets, etc.
There are many advantages of using Bluetooth wireless technology. The most important is the fact that any two devices can be connected with each other without the use of any cables or wires. Added to that, is that using Bluetooth devices is very safe and also convenient.
Now you can get rid of the cables and wires that connect your computer to other devices. Often you need to use cables to connect your computer with the keyboard, the mouse, various cradles for electronic equipment such as PDAs, printers, etc. All these annoying cords can be eliminated if you use Bluetooth enabled devices and you can have an uncluttered and well maintained computer room with a minimum of wires lying on the floor.
Also, every time you need to move your computer equipment to a different place, you have to first unplug all the cables connected to the other external devices, which is a nuisance. Bluetooth technology now makes it possible to connect any devices without using any wires. You no longer have to worry about what plug goes in where should you need to move and reconnect your equipment.
Another advantage of using Bluetooth wireless technology is the safety factor. While driving your car it is extremely dangerous to use one hand to hold your cell phone and the other for driving. It is even illegal to do this in some countries as phoning while driving is a major cause of road accidents. You should always leave both your hands free while driving. Now, thanks to Bluetooth technology you can use a Bluetooth headset to receive your phone calls and to talk to the person on the other end of the “line”. This way you can drive safely with both hands on the steering wheel.
Bluetooth wireless technology also makes our lives so much easier. This technology does not require you to be in close proximity or tethered to the electronic device to be able to use it. You can walk around and do other chores while using your Bluetooth headset. For example, you can cook in the kitchen while listening to your favorite music, without disturbing other people around you. You just have to play the music on your computer and switch on the Bluetooth headphones. Cooking is then no longer a chore!

Advantages of Information Technology
What is Information Technology
Information technology is the use and application of the computer system to process, manage and distribute information. Use of IT in this context involves both the hardware and software components.
Some major advantages of Information Technology in various areas are listed below:
Speed and Accuracy in information Processing
With the use of IT more work can be done by individuals, businesses, services and government organisations. Function enhancement programs such as word processors, database programs and spreadsheets can get work done in less time with increased accuracy and efficiency.
Global Social Interaction
IT has made global social and cultural interaction very simple. This is evident with the emergence and success of social networking websites, such as Facebook and Twitter. More so, the use of information technology has eliminated language barriers with technologies such as language translators.
Entertainment
The introduction and use of high tech applications and gadgets such as iTunes, iPod and iPone has been revolutionary. Downloading, buying, playing and organising, music, videos, movies and TV shows has been made super easy and accessible. The gallant advancement of information technology through history puts the world in your palm with technologies such as iPad and Amazon Kindle.
Communication

Students can have access to all teaching materials and resources online; engage in virtual classrooms real time or asynchronously.
Health
The use of IT has led to an overall improvement in quality, safety and efficiency in the health care delivery system. The health care sector is positively impacted by the use of electronic health records, virtual healthcare team technologies, telemedicine, e-health grids and various specialist health care information systems.
Information technology had brought phenomenal changes to all aspect of life. The positive impact has been global and the change continues to grow exponentially. However, the disadvantages can not be ignored. A major menace brought about by IT is security and drastic reduction in privacy.
