If Hedy Lamarr had been born 20 years later . . . She would have been Bill Gates.

Interesting! She passed in 2000 and I'm thinking just how much she missed as the last 20 years have seen SO much development in this field. 

It is amazing what the older crop of Hollywood celebrities did with their lives.  Invented technology, spied on the Axis powers for the USA.  Simplly amazing.  Especially compared to today's crop.

Kris,

Interesting story.  Thank you for enlighening us. A

It's not me, is it?  Cause if it is, someone owes me a whole buncha money.

Another woman ignored for being a woman. Come on ladies, you out number us and should be running the country by now. We need a change.

Sounds intriguing...will have to look at this as I have no clue.

Thank you, interesting.

Thanks for the link.

Technology continues to change the world and the people in it.  Not all for the greater good, IMHO.

The same will be true with Sarah Winchester who filed a patent on washing board. Reason both want their names to be on a patent that last 17 years. 

Today there are virtually 100 of patents filed on the looks of a cellular phone casing all with obscure inventor's names.  More like Antheil did the sketch and she financed the patent attorney.... 

Had no idea until now. Thank you

I thought it was Al Gore.

Oh...wait...he invented the Internet, didn't he?

A good actress too.
