A small piece of the fibula of a baboon, marked with 29 clearly defined notches, may rank as the oldest mathematical artefact known. Discovered in the early seventies during an excavation of the Border Cave in the Lebombo Mountains between South Africa and Swaziland, the bone has been dated to approximately 35,000 B.C. In a description of the bone, Peter Beaumont, an archaeologist who has done extensive work on Border Cave, has noted that the 7.7 cm long bone resembles calendar sticks still in use today by Bushmen clans in Namibia.

The abacus was probably invented in the Middle East. In the West, from early Roman times, users calculated with a "table abacus" that involved manipulating coin-like discs, or "jetons," on lines drawn on a table or cloth. The table abacus remained in use in parts of Britain and northern Europe until the late 1600s.

In the East, several Asian civilizations used a technique similar to the table abacus until about 1200 AD when the more familiar wire and bead abacus was created in China. As late as 1946, the US Army newspaper Stars and Stripes sponsored a contest pitting a Japanese abacus against an electric calculator. The abacus won.

1860

Charles Babbage developed the "Difference Engine," a mechanical device that could perform error-free calculation of polynomial functions. He completed only a small model before the British government withdrew funding, forcing him to abandon the project. Soon after, Swedish scientists Georg and Edvard Scheutz would complete a working version.

Challenges of Bluetooth technology?

Here are a few limitations of Bluetooth:

1. Speed. Bluetooth is not designed for high-speed data transfers.

2. Range. The range of communications is often limited to a few feet (I've seen as few as 2 and as many as 30).

3. Compatibility. Some devices do not have profiles compatible with the devices you want to connect with.

How did people use the Internet in the past?

From Wikipedia's article on ARPANet, the predecessor to the modern internet. NCP [the Network Control Program] provided a standard set of network services that could be shared by several applications running on a single host computer. This led to the evolution of application protocols that operated more or less independently of the underlying network service. When the ARPANET migrated to the Internet protocols in 1983, the major application protocols migrated along with it. * E-mail: In 1971, Ray Tomlinson of BBN sent the first network email [3]. By 1973, 75% of the ARPANET traffic was email. * File transfer:By 1973, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) specification had been defined and implemented, enabling file transfers over the ARPANET. * Voice traffic: A Network Voice Protocol (NVP) specifications was also defined (RFC 741) and then implemented, but conference calls over the ARPANET never worked well, for technical reasons; packet voice would not become a workable reality for a few decades. ARPANet was originally conceived as a fail-safe method of communications in the event of a nuclear attack, but the network's applications soon proved much larger than that and - moreover - the problem of adequately securing the transmission lines against an EMP was never completely resolved for large-scale applicaion.

Who invented bluetooth headset?

Bluetooth is an open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short length radio waves) from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs) with high levels of security. Invented by telecoms vendor Ericsson in 1994, it was originally conceived as a wireless alternative to RS-232 data cables. It can connect several devices, overcoming problems of synchronization. Today Bluetooth is managed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.

The word Bluetooth is an anglicised version of Danish Blåtand, the epithet of the tenth-century king Harald I of Denmark and parts of Norway who united dissonant Danish tribes into a single kingdom. The implication is that Bluetooth does the same with communications protocols, uniting them into one universal standard, Although blå in modern Scandinavic languages means blue, during the Viking age it also could mean black. So a historically correct translation of Old Norse Harald Blátönn could rather be Harald Blacktooth than Harald Bluetooth.

The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Germanic runes H-rune.(Hagall) and Runic letter berkanan.(Berkanan).
