Blue

Blue is also dominant within the technological world. The Blu-ray disc is one of the most advance methods of creating portable storage. One single-layered disc can store up to 25GB, which is over five times the storage capacity of a regular DVD. The Blu-ray disc takes its name from the blue-violet laser required to read it. Another example of blue in modern technology is in Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a communication system which is very common in mobile phones, laptops and other external devices requiring secure and fast data transfer. This technology is named after Harald the first of Demnark supposedly nicknamed “Bluetooth” after being involved in an accident causing discolouration of his teeth. Both of these technologies are constantly changing the way we live as such technological advances continue to drive us forward, blue leading the way.

We have been brainwashed by blue since the beginning of time. We have blue to thank for our existence and it would only be fair for blue to lead us to our downfall too. A reasonable scenario would be that when we do finally manage to communicate with aliens (who are blue), not through radio but through an advanced descendent of Bluetooth technology, they would receive our message and appear out of the blue, award us a blue ribbon for being the bluest planet in the universe and inform us that they were the type of aliens who blew up other planets. This news would leave half of us speaking profanities in blue language and the others singing the blues. In general, it would leave the blue planet feeling very blue. The end is blue.
