Why Tribute we’re to the all ... goddess of wifi

HEDY LAMARR is remembered as a raven-haired screen goddess, the pouting Delilah (right) who seduced a Hollywood Samson.

But she had another incarnation as a scientific pioneer — coming up with the technology that has led to modern wireless communication, or wifi.

Now, with Thelma & Louise star Susan Sarandon making a documentary about Lamarr’s life, her scientific achievements are coming under the spotlight.

In the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, Lamarr’s invention — which she called ‘frequency hopping’ — was used on U.S. warships.

Today, we owe much to it: modern Bluetooth communication, the GPS positioning systems in cars and phone maps, and wireless internet.
