Petri Launiainen

Petri Launiainen has spent well over thirty years dealing with software, hardware and mobile communications, gaining great insight into these incredible technological revolutions, especially while working as a VP at Nokia and as a CTO of Nokia's Brazilian R&D center. Over the years he had noticed that the effects on society caused by these incredible inventions turned out to be much larger than is generally recognized, so he decided to collect a comprehensive timeline of these events into "A Brief History of Everything Wireless: How Invisible Waves Have Changed the World". During this project, he also inadvertently stumbled on the rising fad of a flat Earth, which prompted him to write down the clues in our daily environment that undisputedly point at a spherical Earth. This entertaining introduction to the form of our planet can now be found in his newest book, "Flat Out Wrong: The Overwhelming Evidence Against Flat Earth". Petri's got a Private Pilot's License with Instrument Rating and has flown coast-to-coast across the continental US, holds a PADI Master Scuba Diver level, and has a life-long interest in all things space, from astronomy to technology. After a wide-range of work experience in leading technology roles in Finland, United Kingdom, Brazil and Spain, Petri currently works as a Freelance IT/HW specialist on Canary Islands.
