Following years of Internet pranks where trolls would go on to falsely say that every other year was the one featured in the future sequences of the second movie of "Back to the Future," 2015 is definitely the year Marty McFly and Doc Brown drive the DeLorean into, but what did the Robert Zemeckis movie get right?
Finally, the future is here - or at least, the "Back to the Future" 2015 can finally be matched with reality! Thirty years after the release of the first installment of the pop culture icon film that first gave the world Marty McFly, the year he reaches the "future" has arrived!
Geeks all over the world are insanely excited over the "Back to the Future" 2015, honoring the movie's 30th anniversary and having fun with what was it the movie got right and what did the Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd film got hilariously wrong!
Lists have been flooding the web since the start of the New Year, naming what were exactly the "Back to the Future" 2015 trends that the movie actually predicted.
As The Telegraph shows, some of the most interesting hits were glasses that can be used to see different things in "alternate" realities (Google glasses or Apple Watch, anyone?) and video calls (though just about every science fiction movie and television show has predicted this, including the original "Star Trek").
Other outlets such as The New York Daily News also remind the world that the 1985 film also featured other mechanisms that have become everyday items in 2015, like flat screen televisions, the fact that just about everything seems to be in 3D these days and, of course, biometric identification for a whole lot of things.
As News.com.au reminds us, the hilarious department of what the "Back to the Future" 2015 got terribly wrong are things like clothes that self-adjust an d shoes that tie its own laces, hoverboards (sadly enough) and, of course, flying cars like the DeLorean time machine - because where they were going, they didn't need roads!
