However, as Lamarr once said, “The brains of people are more interesting than the looks.” This rang true with her. She was one of the most prolific inventors of the 20th century, who yielded various inventions in her life.

Lamarr was born into a well-to-do family. Her father, a bank director and curious man, inspired her to look at the world with open eyes.

Agriculture is one of the main drivers of Indonesia’s economy, employing more than 50 million people. But many farmers still identify as some of the poorest people in the country. All of that is changing with the help of advanced technology.

ms to change the lives to farmers working to make a good living. It works by removing middlemen (中间商) between farmers and the harvest they supply to markets. Farmers usually complain their harvest is always sold below cost when they go through veral middlemen. But today, farmers have more power and all with the tap of a finger. “For popular commodities (商品), farmers usually have to go through 8 to 13 middlemen.
