Do you have any examples of 20th or 21st century breakthrough technologies that started out as toys? I can only think of 3D printers.

- Xirdus 8mo agoA cursory glance at Wikipedia tells me the technology to make drones (I assume by drones you mean quadcopters) was well known all the way back in the 50s. You could say the technology ultimately ended as nothing but a toy, rather than started as one.
