One of the best examples of trickle down tech is GPS which was created by the US military. No doubt this has been a huge boon for most people, it has quite literally transformed the world in countless ways. It even spawned a new hobby - Geocaching. Imagine if we still had to use mapquest...that would be terrible.

Plus we now know that birds don't turn into mice every summer:
