Some claim Hedy Lamarr
invented Wifi
in 1942, before there were even computers to connect to the future internet.
She was an actress with no science degree or any other patents.
Hedy
helped her boy friend develop a Frequency Hopping signal for torpedoes,
which has little to do with WiFi 50 years later, by Frequently Hopping into
bed.
For a more happy Hedy, George added his lover to his patent application..
"Using knowledge of torpedoes gained from her first husband – munitions
manufacturer Friedrich Mandl
– Antheil
and Lamarr
developed the idea of using frequency hopping"
