The first "earbud" was invented in 1891 by Ernest Mercadier as what he referred to as the "bi-telephone" to close the ear to external sounds. This is extremely different from modern technology used to play music directly into the ear instead of playing it out loud. They are now made in a range of different quality capacities and are constantly being updated. Just recently, Apple released its new version of Airpods, an upgrade from the Bluetooth headphones they released in December of 2016. I think that the future of earbuds will continue to expand and the technology will become more invasive moving forward. I could see the earbuds being implanted into a person's actual ear and a button on a person’s hand having the ability to activate the start, pausing, and stopping of a song. Another idea is to have the speakers from the earbud only recognizable by one person. That way, people could play music out loud and be the only one’s hearing the music playing.
