Physical phenomena of waves, as known by scientists and engineers, are ubiquitous and include those on water surfaces, in sound, seismology, clouds, electromagnetism, cosmic gravitational radiation, in sand, and so on. In the conventional technical sense, waves almost always have some mathematically stated connection between the wavelength (distance between crests), the phase speed (or frequency), and, sometimes, the amplitude. Various exceptions are known, including solitary waves (solitons) and shock waves. Often the waves are mere propagators of motion, but in other cases, they can transport material as well. With the evolution of the English language, the term “wave” has been invoked to describe a huge variety of phenomena ranging from waves of disease, disorder, and emotion, to hair (“permanent waves”), to crowd behavior in stadiums, to “waving” goodbye, to the World War II women's military WAVES, to the titles of novels—for example, from Virginia Woolf.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"43 2","pages":"33-35"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10568223","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141444712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I was just a kid, so I did not really understand the ins and outs at the time, but what I now know is that his was a very good job, a union job on the ground crew that paid a genuine middle-class wage. It was the sort of job that was getting harder and harder to come by in late 20th-century America, and in the end, he was not able to find another like it. So, instead, he enrolled in a driving school, earned his commercial driver’s license, and went to work for a long-haul trucking company. At first, he was away from home for long stretches but whenever he returned, he would regale us with tales of his many adventures on the road. After several years, he started to drive more local routes, and after a few more, he financed his own rig and became an owner-operator specializing in shorter hauls. For him, trucking was a smart choice, a way to earn a middle-class wage comparable to what he once made at Eastern. Indeed, the success he found in long- and short-haul trucking seemed to validate all of the rosy promises the industry made (and continues to make) in its recruitment materials. Surely, you have seen them, plastered on the back of 18-wheelers everywhere: “50 cents a mile! No experience needed! Guaranteed home time! Excellent lease-to-own terms available!
