These Billion Dollar Tech Ideas Were Actually Inspired By Famous Movies

5. 3D Printing - Weird Science, 1983

Decades ago, no one could have predicted that 3D printing would be a possibility the way it is today, except for one movie did surprisingly predict the tech concept in its plot. While it is not exactly the same type of 3D printing we use today, the idea was definitely there. In the 1983 film Weird Science , two guys managed to “print” a woman based on the images and information they had fed into a computer. Today, 3D printing is valued at $35.6 billion.
