TASK 1

Bluetooth, the standardized protocol for sending and receiving data via a wireless link, was never

supposed to be called Bluetooth. Back in 1996, a consortium of companies – Intel, Ericsson, Nokia,

and later IBM – decided to create a single wireless standard. The original purpose was to develop

wireless headsets. Each company had been developing their own short-range radio technologies, but

all the names they came up with sucked. Then, along came an obscure Scandinavian king from the

Middle Ages.

King Harald Gormsson is famous for ruling Denmark and then Norway between about 940 and about

986, ultimately uniting all of Scandinavia. He was also the one who converted the Danes to

Christianity. Like many medieval rulers, he also had a nickname: blátǫnn in Old Norse or Blåtand in

Danish. It means Bluetooth. The exact origin of the nickname is up for debate, but many scholars

believe that King Harald became known as Bluetooth because he had a conspicuous dead tooth that

literally looked blue. Makes sense.

What does all this have to do with wireless technology standards of the mid-90's? Everything,

actually. In the summer of 1997, as the consortium struggled to finalize the wireless standard, Intel

engineer Jim Kardach went out drinking with Ericsson engineer Sven Mattisson. During their pub

crawl, Kardach and Mattisson started talking about history. Mattisson had just read a book about the

travels of Danish warriors under the reign of King Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson. In it, the history-

loving engineer learned more about Bluetooth. "It was him who united dissonant Danish tribes into a

single kingdom. The implication is that Bluetooth unites communication protocols. It occurred to me

that this would make a good codename for the program,." Mattisson wrote in a column a decade later.

The group debated a number of names, including "Flirt" as a hint that devices get close without

touching, but couldn't agree upon anything. When the time came to finalize the name, all of the

companies involved in the project agreed to use IBM's idea: PAN (personal area networking). But

then, of all things, the name PAN presented a serious copyright problem. Search engines turned up

thousands of results for the word on the Internet, potentially leading to trademark issues down the

line. "It was decided then that we would go ahead and launch the new wireless technology with the

codename 'Bluetooth', which was an instant hit and the name was never changed.



When it finally came time to create a logo, the team turned back to Bluetooth's Nordic origins. The

now iconic Bluetooth logo is actually a combination – officially known as a bind rune – of King

Bluetooth's initials in Scandinavian runes. When you join the two runes to make a bind rune and drop

it on a blue background, you get the familiar Bluetooth logo. The iconic image can be seen on millions

of devices around the world. All because of a good king and his bad tooth.

TASK 2

There are lots of myths that people still believe in today, though it is clear that they became popular

as a result of some successful propaganda campaigns. Let’s just take a look at a few examples.

1. The first one is and old myth, but a lot of people still believe it: Carrots make your eyesight better.

Eating carrots is certainly good for your health, but it does not make your vision better or allow you

to see in the dark. The origins of this myth can be traced back to WWII. During WWII, the British

invented the RADAR technology which helped them navigate the skies with ease. They were able to

spot German pilots from afar and subsequently shoot them down. As the British Air Force did not

want anyone to know about their new technology, they came up with a propaganda campaign claiming

it was carrots that improved their pilots’ vision. While there is no substantial evidence that the

Germans bought it, the consumption of carrots by the British definitely increased.

2. The desirability of perfect white teeth was a propaganda message set up to sell more whitening

toothpaste and treatments.

The misconception that white teeth are more strong and desirable is the result of propaganda used by

the companies to sell more teeth-whitening agents. As a result of several advertisements and persistent

campaigns, people now believe that having yellow teeth is a sign of bad oral hygiene. As a matter of

fact, however, studies have revealed that yellow teeth are actually stronger than perfectly white teeth.

The enamel – the extremely tough outer layer of our teeth – is bluish-white in color and the dentine

– the bone-like material that lies immediately underneath the enamel of the tooth – is yellow. Since

the enamel is transparent, our teeth do not look completely white. Whitening procedures and products

contain hydrogen peroxide which diffuses through the enamel breaking down the compounds that are

causing discoloration. This, in turn, weakens our teeth and our gums and can also cause irreversible

damage to our tooth enamel.

3. Andrew Wakefield, the doctor who claimed that autism is caused by vaccines, was paid £400,000

to do so.

The anti-vaccine movement is one of the most concerning topics today. It’s really hard to wrap your

head around the fact that people actually believe that vaccination can cause autism, and because of

this have stopped vaccinating their kids. The main catalyst of this movement was Dr. Andrew

Wakefield.



Dr. Wakefield published a study which blamed the MMR vaccine – a vaccine against measles,

mumps, and rubella (German measles) – as a cause of autism. Investigations in the matter later

revealed that he was paid about £400,000 to publish that study by a group of lawyers who wanted to

sue the MMR manufacturers. Following the investigation, the published study was retracted, and he

lost his medical license in Great Britain. Recent studies have proved that genetics is by far the biggest

factor in autism risk.

4. The bottled beverage industry commissioned and publicized a series of studies in the early 1990s

to prove that drinking fountains were unhealthy.

The popular belief that bottled water is healthier than tap water was a result of propaganda used by

the bottled beverage industries. Companies like Coca Cola, Pepsi-Co, and Nestle have been trying

for decades to prove that drinking fountains and tap water are unhealthy. As a result, many of us

prefer drinking bottled water. The United States alone consumes around half a billion bottles of water

in a week.

It is true that not every place has a supply of clean drinking water, but it is absolutely safe to drink

tap water in the majority of the towns and cities. In fact, brands like Coca Cola’s Dasani and Pepsi-

Co’s Aquafina filter and sell the same tap water that comes out of our taps.

TASK 3

The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave … and apparently huge freezing-cold houses with

weird sockets? Wait, what’s so strange about American homes? Well, any time I invite my non-

American friends over to my house, they’re happy to point out how bizarre it is! For example…

1. Big houses

First of all, not all Americans have huge houses. Plenty of people rent small apartments, and houses

come in all different sizes. But, yeah, I’ll agree that the typical American home is pretty big and

spacious compared to other countries. Where the average square footage for European houses is about

1,500 feet, it’s 2,700 feet in the US. I guess the numbers don’t lie!

2. A room for everything!

To fill our giant houses, we’ve got a room for pretty much anything you can imagine. If you can count

closets as tiny rooms (and they kind of are when you think about it), every American home has

multiples of those. There are closets for clothes in each bedroom, usually one near the front door for

coats and shoes, one in the bathroom or hallway for towels, one in the kitchen in the form of a pantry

– yep, we love storage space that’s built into the house! Those big wardrobes you might get from

IKEA aren’t really a thing here.

3. Huge personal washers AND dryers

Speaking of rooms, there’s also usually one just for doing laundry. Also, most Americans have both

a washer AND a separate dryer, and they tend to be big too! My European friends tell me that their

washer is in the kitchen or bathroom, and they hang their clothes to dry. But, again, I’m sure it comes



down to the issue of space. Still, even if a person in the US doesn’t have their own, they just go down

to the laundromat to use the machines there. You won’t see many Americans hand-washing their

clothes or hanging them to dry. I mean, who has time for that?

4. Basements

And here’s yet another way to have plenty of storage space. Or, of course, if you’re in the Midwest,

basements serve as a shelter when a tornado hits. But besides storage and tornado safety, a lot of

American homes have gorgeous finished basements that serve as another living space. It might be in

the form of a guest room or a recreational area to hang out in.

5. Wall-to-wall carpeting

This point will often depend on how old a house is because a lot of the old ones have wooden floors.

But most homes, especially the newer ones, have wall-to-wall carpeting in every room. Well, not the

kitchen or bathroom, of course, but everywhere else, it’s carpeted! Is this really just an American

thing? If you’re from another country, you’ll have to let me know down below!

6. How low can you go?

Now, my European friends find my toilet quite fascinating and mildly confusing. I guess toilets in the

US sit lower than the ones in Europe do. It’s not because we’re necessarily shorter or that it’s more

comfortable for us. Low-sitting toilets actually serve a purpose – being closer to the ground is a

healthier and more natural way to, you know, do your numbers.

7. Toilet bowls full of water

You didn’t think I was done talking about toilets, did you? Ok, one more toilet fact for the day: in the

US, they’re full of water. On his first visit to the States, one of my friends actually thought my toilet

was clogged! Nope, all that water is totally normal and serves several purposes as well. First of all, it

keeps the bowl from getting too dirty and staining the porcelain. That way, we don’t have to use the

brush as often.

It also minimizes smells. But there is the downside of more splashing if you know what I mean! And

I think you do!

8. One faucet to rule them all

I haven’t done a lot of traveling, but I have been to the UK and I was flabbergasted by the separate

faucets in the bathroom. How do you guys use those anyways??? I have to wash my hands under

scolding hot or freezing cold water separately? Jump back and forth between the two? In the US,

sinks always have just one faucet, and you can customize the temperature of the water however you

like. Now, as for getting that perfect temperature when you’re taking a shower, don’t even get me

started on that…

9. Crank up the AC

Yeah, most of us leave the AC running all through the summer instead of opening a window or using

a fan. Probably not the most cost-efficient solution (especially in a big house), but it just feels so nice!

The same goes for cranking the heat up in the winter. You won’t see many radiators in the US!



10. Wearing shoes inside

Most of the world has a pretty strict policy about taking your shoes off at the front door, but that’s

not really the case here. Most families are totally ok with wearing shoes inside around the house, as

long as they’re not muddy or anything. Sure, there are those American families that don’t do it. So if

you’re ever in the States, it’s customary to ask if you need to take your shoes off at the front door.

Most of the time, the answer will be “Nah, you’re fine!”

11. No tea kettle in the kitchen

The US is mostly a coffee-drinking country, so we don’t really use tea kettles. And if you’re thinking,

“What about a kettle to boil water for instant coffee?” – the answer to that, my friend, is that most

homes have a coffeemaker to brew it fresh!

12. Flags everywhere

Americans really do love to display the old Star-Spangled Banner, so most homes here have at least

one hanging outside the house. But it’s not just our national flag we like to hoist. A lot of people hang

a flag with their favorite football team or the college they went to on it. What can I say, we like flags!

13. Pristine lawns

And finally, surrounding that big house full of rooms, closets and carpet, we have our beautiful lawns.

Ok, the perfect pristine kind are usually only found in the suburbs, but, in general, Americans like to

take care of their yard. Plus, most neighborhoods have rules about it! Even if you don’t want to, you

often HAVE to keep your lawn mowed and free of leaves or clutter. Everything’s got to look nice

and clean!

And now, whether you’re American or not, which of these things apply to your house? Let me know

down in the comments!
