Bluetooth technology has become one of the newest ways we can communicate with anyone, anywhere, and anytime we choose. It has essentially become just another part or natural way of how we communicate. The goal of this paper is to examine how this technology has changed the way we now do business, how we work, and how we live. In doing so, we will look at the cause and effect of this new technological relationship and the significance of the new hand held devices usage for communication. Being able to have this Bluetooth technology has given us the ability to talk to people around the world as if they were standing in the next room with no wires or cables attached. This is important as we continue to explore even greater capability of means to become a totally wireless world by using this new Bluetooth technology and discovering how far it will continue to grow until the next new invention to communicate comes along in the future. When you walk around any city streets, as you are driving around any city or town, or if you are in the next cubicle to a co-worker, you have seen this technology probably more times than you can count or perhaps even better odds remembering when you did not see it attached to someone’s right or left ear. We seem now to not only be connected at the hip, but now also connected at the ear. To give you a little background on how I see the progression of technology from whence it developed, take a little time here to go back where it began to change. I can remember a time when we had only the pay phones to use in which we sometimes had to wait our turns to use. Having a land line phone at home or at your place of work was then considered a luxury (I’m talking from the
