The Story of Radio: to 5G Wireless
No Customer Reviews
Fascinating tech History with amazing true stories! Not a techie book, but the 189-year story of heroic discoveries and inventions that gave mankind radio waves for communication over distance, then, broadcasting, then cellular phones, and soon, robot cars, smart cities and a Jetson future! 5G has only just arrived. There's much more to come!
It's all radio. Your smartphone is a radio-telephone. But. do you know anything about radio? Like...who REALLY discovered it? Who invented the things that made it possible? Who trained men in their 20s to be radiomen on ships? Who used radio as the Titanic sank in 1912... to save 706 people from death? History has overlooked much. This book (and its future sisters) will put the story of radio in your hands! You'll also learn that cell phone tech was invented for use in your car. And, credit for putting cell phones into our pockets goes to a Bell Labs black technologist who dared to say: "We have to do this digitally" -- and redesigned the system! Oh, and what invention by famed actress, Hedy Lamarr, still lives on in cellular tech today?
These and many other things no one's ever told you are in The Story of Radio: to 5G Wireless by George J. Whalen, NY9A. Get it on Amazon.com!
