Povestea regelui viking care a dat numele tehnologiei Bluetooth, folosită astăzi de miliarde de oameni

Bluetooth technology, named after Viking King Harald Bluetooth, connects devices and has historical roots in Denmark. Harald unified Denmark and Norway and converted his people to Christianity around 965 AD. His legacy is preserved in Jelling, where runestones commemorate his achievements. The name Bluetooth was chosen in the late 1990s for a technology that connects devices, reflecting Harald's role in unification. Despite initial skepticism about the name, it became widely accepted. The logo features runes representing Harald's initials. In 2023, the technology celebrated its 25th anniversary, with its creators humorously acknowledging their use of Harald's name.
