Bluetooth Starting to Fly   (techdrivenlife) Computerworld, reporting from Computex, the world's second largest computer show which is held annually in Taiwan,  reports the increased popularity of Bluetooth devices.  According to their projections, bluetooth chips should exceed 264 million, more than 3 times the 69 million sold in 2003, according to the Industrial Economics & Knowledge Center (IEK), a Taiwan research group. After a slow start back in 1994, it seems that Bluetooth will be one of the defining technologies in the next few years, especially for wireless headsets.     8:17:34 PM     comment []   trackback []

Email Addiciton is Good    (techdrivenlife) A few days ago, I wrote about a study that talks that we may be addicted to email.   Here is a rejoinder from Forbes magazine, The Digital Life, that says access to e-mail allows executives and other people to respond more quickly to problems, as well as allow them to be more productive amidst more flexibility on where to work.  Addiction has negative connotations while the net effect of these technology is supposed to be positive for our lives. I concur.  Sometimes I complain that a vacation is not a vacation at all!  What with having to worry everyday on where to log on just to stay in touch and 'connected'.  But then again, come to think of it, if not for mobile phones, wifi connections and internet, would I be able to take a vacation in the first place with the increased demands now on the business?   8:12:04 PM     comment []   trackback []
