THE MOTHER OF Wi-Fi
Listen to this Insight
Never underestimate a beautiful woman. Brains can come in beautiful packages . Hedy Lamarr featured in the film “Samson and Delilah ‘’.(1949) She played the role of Delilah . Hedy Lamarr got divorced so many times that she ended up marrying her divorce lawyer , whom she divorced as well . Lol But that’s not why I am here though. Lamarr is one of the trailblazers who have shattered the glass ceiling and made a lasting impact on the tech industry. From Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer to Grace Hopper , who coined the term “debugging”. These women paved the way for others to follow . if you are reading this , you have Hedy Lamarr to thank for her contributions to the technologies that help create Wi-Fi . She is most famous for her work as an actress and a glamorous Hollywood icon in the 1930s and 40s but she is also an inventor .oh yes, you got me right. At the height of her career during WWII , she used her passion for mathematics and Engineering to develop an idea for a frequency -hopping machine that couldn’t be tracked. She would go on to create a mechanism that would jump around radio frequencies to prevent a third party from jamming United States signals. In 1942, Lamarr’s invention was patented and donated to help the US military defeat the Nazis. Unfortunately, the Navy declined her work, but, years later her invention started picking up traction . Today, we can see similar techniques from Lamar’s invention used in Wi-Fi , GPS and Bluetooth .Her ideas helped revolutionize modern communication. Talk of an absolute legend ! Talk of women in STEM!
