Quotes by Valerie Hansen (?)

“the Danish king Harald Bluetooth (910–985) was raised as a non-Christian. In the 960s he united Denmark and gained temporary control of Norway. Recognizing the power of Christian monotheism as a unifying force for his new kingdom, he made the decision to convert. (Intel and Ericsson engineers chose to call their new technology “Bluetooth” because it brought computers and mobile phones together just as Harald had unified Denmark and Norway.)”

“We wonder how people could traverse thousands of miles on foot and forget that most people could walk 20 miles, or 32 km, a day, and for long periods. People in the year 1000 were used to this—one envoy went on foot more than 2,500 miles, or 4,000 km, between 1024 and 1026.”
