今天（11月9日）是Wifi之母Hedy Lamarr （海蒂-拉玛）101周年诞辰 （1914-2000）。

海蒂·拉玛是一位出生于奥地利的犹太裔美国演员，她不仅是著名影星和反纳粹活动家，其参与发明的展布频谱技术还为WiFi与移动电话等现代无线通讯技术奠定了重要基础。”

当你使用WiFi的时候，别忘了对她说一声谢谢。

今天的Google首页也为海蒂·玛拉献上了一支迷你MV，简述了她伟大而迷人的一生。

（维基百科对海蒂的介绍：

Hedy Lamarr ( born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, 9 November 1914 – 19 January 2000) was an Austrian and American film actress and inventor. After an early and brief film career in Germany, which included a controversial love-making scene in the film Ecstasy (1933), she fled her husband and secretly moved to Paris. There, she met MGM head Louis B. Mayer, who offered her a movie contract in Hollywood, where she became a film star from the late 1930s to the 1950s.

大意： 海蒂-拉玛是一位奥地利和美国影星，曾在德国拍摄影片，包括狂欢》（1933），里面有引起争议的做爱场面。她为了逃离丈夫，秘密巴黎，遇到了米高梅制片公司的老板，邀请她到美国好莱坞拍片，使她成为上世纪30年代到50年代的一位影星。

At the beginning of World War II, keen to aid the Allied war effort, Lamarr identified jamming of Allied radio communications by the Axis as a particular problem, and with composer George Antheil, developed spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology to defeat it. Though the US Navy did not adopt the technology until the 1960s, the principles of her work are now incorporated into modern Wi-Fi, CDMA and Bluetooth technology, and this work led to her being inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

大意：二战期间，她为了帮助盟国，鉴定出轴心国对盟国电讯进行了干扰，还和作曲家乔治-安太尔一起，发明了能战胜干扰的展布频谱技术。虽然美国海军直到1960年代才开始使用这一技术，但她这项研究成果的原理现在已经被用在WiFi，CDMA和蓝牙技术上，她也于2014年被列入美国发明家名人堂。)
