These Billion Dollar Tech Ideas Were Actually Inspired By Famous Movies

3. Earbuds - Fahrenheit 451, 1966

The evolution of earphones has been enormous, with the essential item starting off as really bulky. Back in 1966, the movie Fahrenheit 451 introduced the concept of earbuds as the most horrendous but extremely useful item, something that was way far away from being a reality. While earbuds have become more effective in the past couple of decades, it wasn’t until 2016 that Apple released the now-famous EarPods, that are on their way to reach a market value of $15.8 billion by 2025.
