    So her invention isn’t used for Wifi now, but was used in the initial design of it? You might even say she helped give birth to it…

      I guess my point is that it isn’t a particularly important part of the design of Wi-Fi - they included it in the very first iteration in 1997 and realised by 1999 they didn’t need it. Therefore Wi-Fi would likely have been born regardless of the invention; Bluetooth would not.

      Yeah but her work built on someone else’s so we’re taking it all away from her and calling them parents of her work so she gets nothing…

      Doesn’t feel as fun anymore, does it?

      Let the guys dad have some credit for his work, give her credit for her work - I don’t get what’s so controversial.
