Wireless Technology

Plot

A kid downloads a song to his smartphone, then forwards it to his stereo system-all without plugging in a single cable or wire. The eyepiece on a soldier's helmet has a GPS map of the battlefield, showing right where his buddies are. An artificial heart is recharged wirelessly-right through the patient's ribcage. A surfboard is rigged with a webcam and Wi-Fi, so Web surfers around the world can see up-close footage of the real surfer's surroundings. Is this science fiction? The distant future? No, it's here and now, and this is wireless technology. Learn how cutting-edge science helps people communicate better, live healthier, and have more fun! Book jacket.
