ᚼᛒ: Harald Bluetooth and Your Phone

This is my favorite random fact

Thank you for that I am danish..

Good ol' Harald👍

Hi Tom, You mention Intel as being behind the Bluetooth protocol. To my knowledge, and all I ever heard in Denmark, was that it was the swedish company Ericsson, who later teamed up with a series of other tech companies in order to spread the use of Bluetooth. Could you please research this again. I would very much like to know the correct story - either yours or the one I know.

Still odd for me to see the stones in a glass montre since I as a kid used to climb all over them in the boulder like stile you can imagine 😅

funny how Denmark didnt have anything in text before this stone

🇩🇰💪

the museum is free and the city has markers showing the outline of the old fort that was once there

ive allways wonderd why its named after the old danish king

'Jelling stones'
AAAA STONES!!!!

noICe

Thanks Tom

So what has happened to Denmark and Norway. Aren't they together anymore?

My teacher sent me this video 😁🤨

Who else is here from Answer in Progress?

Pan = god of Nature of Pagans (Celto-viking tradition). Harold = the king who finished the last Pagans. Nothing hazard : the Bluetooth is here to convert us to wireless to better finish us. Don’t sleep.

Yes

I used to climb on theese stones as a kid 😅

Funny story, I am directly related to Harald Blåtand.

The fact that the symbol literally means BlueTooth in a real language… wow.

I was born in Jelling :)

What a video about what few Danes seems to deem important to national history, especially the ones born after year 2,000. I visited the town of Jelling myself and I clearly remember those stones :) what an amazing story, and thank you, Tom, for bringing it to life :)

harald bluetooth is my ancestor!

One really interesting fact is that the frequency hopping used in BT was invented by a famous 1940s actress...

Two Australians invented WIFI when working for the CSIRO .. it’s named after Wayne Irwin & Frank Ingle
who thought it up while half pissed down the local Pub & still got docked for their extra hour for lunch.

Why is your shirt the only red, why can't your outerwear be red, Charlie Brown or SpongeBob?

damn that rock had bluetooth

Nice

History: Most of us will be forgotten within a generation or two

Harold: Hold my mead

O yes, I knew that scene in Kingsman the golden circle would come as handy one day

We have the inscription of Jesus on our passports in Denmark

BY FAR my favourite Tom Scott video

Sophons like to here them being referenced

It is invented by Jaap Hartsen.

Come on, we all know the ancient Greeks invented Bluetooth. It just took 2000 years to find a use for it.

this is one of the coolest bits of trivia I've learned in a long time

Small detail, Bluetooth was developed by the Swedish company Ericsson in the Swedish university city of Lund. But I guess 1000+ years ago Lund was a part of Harald Bluetooth domains. As I understand it Bluetooth is nowadays opensource?

Church of progress infested the land and took all meaning from the people

Fascinating

Canute did him bad tho 😭

Why is this wokester in my feed?

I'm going through all your videos, and this one just blew my mind. :D Such a cool story

Sorry for being a pedant, but isn't the correct phrase "Denmark's Baptism Certificate"?

You’ve blown my mind, not because I didn’t know it was named after him but because I never realised the symbol is a rune/rune based, but now that I see it it’s so clear

After learning about the poem Beowulf, this is an epic discovery.

Kinda disappointed he didn't say "Jelling" yelling

Your country is now ready to pair.

ᚼᛒ

That’s so cool
