What Wi-Fi Would Look Like If We Could See It
Daniel_Stuckey writes "Artist Nickolay Lamm, a blogger for MyDeals.com, decided to shed some light on the subject. He created visualizations that imagine the size, shape, and color of wi-fi signals were they visible to the human eye. 'I feel that by showing what wi-fi would look like if we could see it, we'd appreciate the technology that we use everyday,' Lamm told me in an email. 'A lot of us use technology without appreciating the complexity behind making it work.'"
I could always see it that way. I thought it looked that way to everyone? I always wondered why when I took a photo I wouldn't see the waves in the photo.
And don't ever ever do this, but this is what electricity tastes like...
Yup, this is worthless.
in TFA, the person creating the pretty images is cited:
"Wifi waves are about 3 to 5 inches from crest to crest.
The crests of waves is translated to a 1 by a computer,
and the the troughs equal a 0."
I laughed out loud and closed the tab.
