I have read a very interesting book in the past few days, that is, "The Wave Maker", I read it refreshed, and I think that the next time I chat and brag, I will be able to win again and come out on top! Haha, just kidding, is this book told us a lot of Internet big guys they did not tell us almost all the things are here, you say for curiosity, to be precise, is it a book that can meet the needs of readers?
The book "The WaveMaker" is a collection of popular, historical and interesting Internet character biographies. Internet technology has changed the development trajectory of the entire world, and behind this, there are countless maverick, paranoid, fanatical, eccentric, strange thinking, grotesque and even funny technology "gods", who quietly created a new world based on the Internet in their own unusual pursuits and choices.
For example, do you know? The basis for the WiFi you can't live without every day now comes from a beautiful Hollywood movie actress, Heidi Rama?
Hedy Lamarr (born November 9, 1914 in Vienna, Austria) is an American film and television actress. In 1931, Heidi Rama made her first film, Money on the Street. In 1933, the film "Flame of Desire" was also translated into "Haunted" and premiered in Czechoslovakia, and Heidi became the world's first actor to appear naked. There is a scene in the film where she runs through a forest without a wisp, and she has been famous ever since.
In 1937, he successfully entered Hollywood at the recommendation of Louis Meyer, including the stage name "Heidi Rama". In 1938 Heidi began starring at MGM, where she collaborated with Robert Taylor on the romance film Lady of the Tropics. In 1939, Heidi collaborated with Clark Gable on 25 works, including the comedy "A Comrade" and the adventure film "Emerging City".
In 1941, Heidi borrowed the principle of musician George Antyre playing the piano synchronously to invent the "frequency hopping technology", laying the foundation for CDMA, Wi-Fi and other technologies. In 1942, Heidi obtained a patent for "frequency hopping technology" issued by the United States. In 1949 Heidi co-starred with George Sanders as Cecil Sauers. B. Demir directed the romance film "Overlord Demon".
Heidi became a U.S. citizen in 1953. In 1966 Heidi published a controversial autobiographical novel exposing privacy. In 1997 Heidi was awarded the Pioneer Award of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Heidi Lamar died in Florida on January 19, 2000, at the age of 85. In 2014, she was inducted into the U.S. Inventors Hall of Fame.
Isn't it a very interesting and thought-provoking life? Heidi is the darling of heaven who is talented and white-skinned, and her wisdom has made her make her own unique contribution to the development of the Internet, which is also too remarkable, obviously she can rely on her appearance to eat, but she has to rely on talent to become famous again, which is really remarkable.
The book "Wavemaker" is based on the development of micro-circuits - operating systems - the World Wide Web - the Internet as the context, with the new media humor and humorous language style to tell the influential, legendary characters, and in a lively and simple way to introduce the Knowledge of Internet technology, so that readers can understand the Internet world they are in in a relaxed and pleasant reading.
