Opinion: Bluetooth Technology is Already out of Place

Bluetooth Technology was no doubt once the dominant standard for wireless transfer of files/folders and data from one devices to another.

It even went ahead to reign supreme over the era of Infra-Red technology when infra-red was also commonly distributed amongst devices in performing similar functions.

Then, Bluetooth overshadowed infra-red because of the faster and wider distance it allows for those data transfer unlike Infra-Red where the synchronizing devices have to be brought almost in close contact.

But today as we speak, the use of Bluetooth technology to achieving file/folder and data transfer purposes is in tremendous decline.

The reason for the almost total abandonment of the Bluetooth technology in recent time is not far-fetched, as the introduction and distributions of other widely accepted standards that are now considered better in all ramifications have obviously kept the Bluetooth tech at bay.

The current and widely distributions of WiFi, WiFi hotspot and WiFi Direct have all changed the ways people synchronizes data wirelessly when it comes to speed and wider distance coverage.

Now what I see that is currently playing out on Bluetooth technology is what I consider as the normal trend of archiving pieces of technology that no longer leave up to the expectations of the present demands, and hence Bluetooth technology is quickly going obsolete.

Look around you now; you will hardly see people using their Bluetooth to transfer/receive files and data, but what you will rather see are those using apps that make use of WiFi based technologies like Flashshare, Xender, Shareit etc where speed is almost equal to that of light.

The speed with which WiFi based technologies synchronizes data among devices is in nowhere comparable to that of Bluetooth which is considered slow and hence WiFi is now seen as the present and future of wireless technology.

If the current trend of the widely distributions of WiFi based tech and the decline in use of Bluetooth based tech persist, I see a future where Bluetooth will start getting omitted in future devices just in similar manner that infra-red now hardly sees the light on most current devices.
