 Today is October 21st, 2015, and if you've seen Back to the Future, that date might look familiar. You mean we're in the future? Except it doesn't look exactly like the 2015 we live in. Sure, some of the predictions were pretty close. Others? Well, let's take a look. Okay, first, time travel. Alright, time circuits on. Yeah, we still haven't figured out time travel. Sorry, Doc. And nor have we figured out how to harness nuclear fusion to power our cars or home appliances. I heard Tesla's working on it. We technically have flying cars, only don't expect to drive one unless you have the money to buy one. Hologram displays like this one with JAWS 19 are out, but brands are definitely in. We are getting close to hyper-accurate weather forecasting. And we have drones that can take really stellar photography. It'll just be a long while before they can replace reporters or walk our dogs. We also haven't figured out anti-gravity. And if we did, we probably wouldn't use it for curing back injuries. Homes are getting smarter. People have flat screen TVs and some even have video calling. And tech like Apple's HomeKit even lets you control the lights in your home with just your voice. But the average house doesn't have a black-injector hydration machine or voice-controlled fruit and veggie dispenser. Never mind the fax machines. Fax is dead. So here's a cool thing. A bunch of the tech Back to the Future shows off. Binocular cards, hover billboards, being able to buy things with just your thumb just don't exist on their own. But you get similar functionality thanks to smartphones. A technology the movie simply never anticipated. Another is the internet. Who needs video waiters or fax briefcases when you have Seamless and Snapchat? Then there's fashion. We don't have self-drying clothes or those sweet self-lacing sneakers. But we do have waterproof clothes. And those Nike Air Mags may be closer than we think. Last thing, hoverboards are cool. But ours are cooler, technically. Okay fine, they kind of suck. You need a metal skate park or supercooled magnets to use them. Maybe in another 30 years.
