In an increasingly wireless world, new technologies emerge to ensure people are connected. 970-986), whose unification of Denmark was seen as a historical parallel to the intention of Bluetooth technology to "unite the PC and cellular industries with a short-range wireless link," it is estimated that 7 billion Bluetooth enabled devices would be shipped annually by 2026. As an alternative to wired connections, Bluetooth offers wireless personal area network (WPAN) streaming, data transfer, and communication exchanges through its two radio options. While phones and computers might be among the top of mind applications of Bluetooth technology in everyday living, it could also be found in use for wireless audio and video, health monitoring, home appliances, and even car connectivity. RFID Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) refers to a wireless system comprised of two components, namely tags and readers. In terms of day-to-day applications, RFID technology would be observable in inventory tracking, logistics, driving, shipping, manufacturing, retail, entertainment, and so on. NFC Compared to the previous wireless technologies, near-field communications (NFC) would have the shortest range. Tracing its development from RFID technology, NFC has an effective point-to-point range of 10 centimeters or less, and could transfer even smaller amounts of information.
