Bluetooth

The question asks which wireless technology is built into electronic gadgets for transferring data over short distances. The given options are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Modem, and USB.

Let's analyze each option:

  • Wi-Fi: It is a wireless networking technology that allows devices to communicate over a wireless signal. Although Wi-Fi is used for wireless communications, it is typically used for connecting to the internet over longer distances than Bluetooth.
  • Bluetooth: This is a wireless technology specifically designed for transferring data over short distances. It is commonly used for connecting personal devices such as headphones, mobile phones, and other peripherals. It is ideal for indoor use with a typical range of about 10 meters.
  • Modem: This is a hardware device that converts data so it can be transmitted from a computer to a cable or telephone line and vice versa. It is not a wireless technology used for short-range data transfer.
  • USB: USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard for cables, connectors, and communication protocols used in a wired connection to transfer data and power between devices. It is not a wireless technology.

Conclusion: Among the given options, Bluetooth is the correct answer. It is the technology specifically designed for short-range wireless data transmission. Hence, the correct answer is Bluetooth.
