ANSWERS – Tech Quiz 2

1. The name “Adobe” comes from Adobe Creek, which ran behind the house of co-founder John Warnock. This name reflects the local influence on the brand, which would become a global leader in digital arts software.
2. “Bluetooth” is named after a 10th-century king, Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson, known for uniting Denmark and Norway. The technology was so named because it was expected to unite the communication protocols like Harald united Scandinavia.
3. Wi-Fi technology was originally developed under a project called WaveLAN by NCR Corporation/AT&T in the Netherlands in 1991. It was intended for use in cashier systems. The commercial potential of the technology was quickly realized, leading to its widespread adoption.
