Star Trek Gave Us Wireless Headphones
Wireless headphones made our lives much easier. Tangled headphone wires or unknotting our headphones is frustrating. It took a lot of time and caused too much frustration, for what it’s worth. Thanks to Star Trek, yet again, the development of Bluetooth helped us stick our headphones in our ears and shut out the world. Lieutenant Uhura wore a device in her ear. This allowed her to communicate through space. Then, all the officers in the following episodes wore a device called a communicator on their uniforms. Despite the huge distances, they could easily communicate with one another. The Bluetooth devices we wear in our ears are eerily similar to the one Lieutenant Uhura wore in her ear. ThinkGeek even took it so far as to create a Bluetooth device in the same form as the one from the movie (The Tempest)
