With the advent of the new cell phone law in California, many people in the state have turned their attention to going hands-free with their wireless phone.  By far, the most preferred method is using a Bluetooth device.  This brings one to wonder – what exactly is Bluetooth, and is it of any use for more then just cell phones?

  1. I was wondering if the same alleged dangers inherent in wireless telephones might not even be greater or at least the same using a Bluetooth device?

  2. Good article on Bluetooth, It’s something you hear a lot about.. But not much tech information. Thanks for the read.

  3. I certainly hope they do not implement bluetooth tech into medical devices just yet… I mean, how would you like to have your life dependant on a machine, and then your bluetooth loses signal? BEEEP!! Flatline!

    I say this because every bluetooth device I have ever come in contact with has always been not reliable to put it mildly (and that has been a couple of thousand devices mind you).

  4. With all that’s been said, especially recently, about the nasty effects of radio frequency radiation being harmful to humans, I wonder if the proliferation of bluetooth devices will significantly worsen this problem? What say you?

  10. #8 While there is still controversy surrounding Radio Frequency (RF) waves (electromagnetic radiation), by in large, since it is non-ionizing radiation its carcinogenic effect will be extremely low (indeed much, much lower than ionizing radiation). There have been many studies the World Health Organization concluded that if exposure is below the limits that are recommended, then no adverse health effects are produced.
