These Billion Dollar Tech Ideas Were Actually Inspired By Famous Movies

2. Digital Billboards - Blade Runner, 1982

Another movie released in 1982 managed to predict a tech advancement that would debut over 20 years later, and would eventually become an essential part of the advertisement industry: digital billboards. Although Blade Runner was released in 1982, the movie was set in 2019 and was way ahead of its time in several ways. One of them was the idea of a digital billboard, which was something completely unattainable back in the 1980s. Today, digital billboards can be seen in every major city in the world, with a $31.71 billion tech market value.
