I've long felt there needs to be some sort of dramatization of the lives of Asian, specifically South Asian(*), engineers and their contributions to modern technology. I feel like the average westerner just doesn't appreciate the sacrifices and hard work that have gone into the technology they base their modern lives on.
* No offense to non-South Asians, it's just those are the folks I worked side by side with in the 00's and saw working multiple jobs and working themselves to death in a foreign land. Certainly this is nothing new in the history of the world, but I feel like the particular angle of their contributions to cell phones and the internet is worthy of a movie or something.
