On this day in 1942, Hedy Lamarr (Hedy Kiesler Markey) and George Antheil received US Patent 2,292,387 for what was the technical groundwork for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS...

They donated the technology to the US Military...

Note: this was 11 years before she attained US Citizenship in 1953...

Thank you, Ms Lamarr and any and all "immigrants" to the United States of America (including my g-g-g-parents)...
