"Back to the Future" Day has finally
arrived.
In "Back to the Future Part II," Marty McFly travels
to October 21, 2015, to save his children, yet to be
born in "Back to the Future's" 1985.It’s one of the most memorable sequences in
the entire Back to the Future trilogy. Marty
McFly travels from 1985 to 2015 in Doc
Brown’s DeLorean time machine and
immediately discovers a whole new world of
dazzling technology.
Sadly, the rejuvenating face masks, auto-
drying jackets and flying cars predicted to
become a part of everyday life have yet to
become a reality. But on the exact day that
Michael J. Fox’s iconic character touched
down in 21 Century Hill Valley, here’s a
look at eleven crystal ball moments that the
film did get spot on.
1. [b][/b]HOVERBOARD
It's the one item that every kid who’s
watched Back to the Future II has since
dreamed of owning, and although you’re
unlikely to see one on the streets any time
soon, the hoverboard does now exist.
Japanese car giants Lexus and a Californian
company funded by Kickstarter have both
recently unveiled prototypes for a rideable
anti-gravity board, with the latter expected
to present the first 11 purchases today.
2. [b][/b]VIDEO [b][/b]CONFERENCES
From Skype to Facetime – video chat
services are now part of everyday life.
But back in the late 80s they were the stuff
of fantasy, and in the case of the poor future
Marty, who gets fired via one in the comfort
of his own home, the stuff of nightmares.
3. [b][/b]DRONES
Drone-like devices are seen twice in the film,
firstly when a USA Today gadget takes a
photo of Griff and his gang following their
arrest, and secondly with one that walks a
dog.
They might not be used for the latter that
much, but drones have since become
prevalent in photojournalism, with the likes
of Amazon, Google and DHL also using them
for various purposes.
4. [b][/b]HANDS-FREE GAME
In the Café 80s scene, a young Elijah Wood
mocks Marty for using his hands to play an
arcade game.
Although viewers don’t get to see the
evidence, it’s implied that motion sensor
gaming, similar to the Xbox 360 Kinect, has
become all the rage.
5. [b][/b]3D
3D may have been around since the early
20th Century but had become virtually
obsolete when Back to the Future II hit
screens in 1989.
There might not have been another Jaws
sequel, let alone another 15, but with the
advent of 3D televisions and the revival of
3D cinema, one of the film’s most famous
scenes undoubtedly foreshadowed the
current three-dimensional boom.
6.[b][/b]FLAT [b][/b]SCREEN [b][/b]TV
TV sets used to be massive bulky things that
would take up half the room, but director
Robert Zemeckis cleverly predicted that
wall-mounted flat screens would soon
become the norm.
7. [b][/b]VIDEO [b][/b]GOGGLES
Sitting on the living room sofa is still the
most common way of enjoying a TV dinner.
But with the introduction of Google Glass
and the recently unveiled Microsoft
HoloLens, Marty Junior’s ‘video goggles at
the kitchen table’ method is no longer seen
as far-fetched.
8. [b][/b]SELF-TYING [b][/b]SHOES
Admittedly, Nike only began developing the
idea as a tribute to the film, but still, self-
tying shoes will no doubt become a must-
have item when they eventually hit the
shelves.
Tinker Hatfield, the man who designed
Marty’s Nike MAG originals, confirmed back
in January that the company intend to
release their ‘power laces’ by the end of this
year.
9. [b][/b]BIOMETRIC [b][/b]TECH
Marty and Jennifer can both be seen using
iris and thumbprint identification devices at
their home.
This kind of technology has become a
regular feature on smartphones and is also
commonplace in high-security facilities such
as banks and immigration inspection points.
10. [b][/b]TABLET
Decades before the launch of the iPad, BTTF
predicted the age of handheld tablet
computers with a small device that Marty is
asked to sign in order to help save the clock
tower.
11. Miami baseball team
Away from technology, the film imagines the
Chicago Cubs winning the World Series
against Miami, Florida.
The Sunshine state didn’t have a Major
League Baseball team at the time, but now
has two, with the Miami Marlins forming in
1993 and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays five
years later.
