These Billion Dollar Tech Ideas Were Actually Inspired By Famous Movies

8. Hoverboards - Back to the Future II, 1985

Back to the Future II was way ahead of its time, predicting more than one tech gadget that would eventually be worth billions. Amongst other futuristic tech devices, the 1985 film introduced the concept of hoverboards which ended up hitting the market a decade after the movie was released. Although Segways and hoverboards don’t actually hover off the ground the same way Marty’s did in the movie, the self-balancing devices are pretty close to the movie’s tech prediction, which is worth $3.34 billion these days.
