Hedy Lamarr- A Beautiful Face and Mind

This video is about Hedy Lamarr, a Hollywood actress and inventor whose "frequency hopping" invention revolutionized how radio signals control torpedoes. Her brilliant idea was the precursor to many wireless technologies we use today: cell phones, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, wireless cash registers, barcode readers, the list goes on!

When the movie A Beautiful Mind came out, I immediately thought of Hedy Lamarr.

correction, George the composer helped her invent the frequency jumping signal. she did not know how to do it. She had the idea but did not know how to make it work but he did

You were ahead of your time too, did you know about bombshell before making this video?

Too bad she never became an electrical or aeronautical engineer..
