peterbaeafcapaldi:Wednesday October 21st 2015, the day that Marty Mcfly travelled to the future in Back to the Future Part II (1989). Back to the Future’s version of life in 2015 is a comedic look into the future which wasn’t meant to be accurate. Obviously, this comes across in the portrayal self tying shoes and jackets that dry automatically. Despite this, the film did accurately predict a number of technological and sociological changes, such as the rise of ubiquitous cameras, the influence of Asian nations over the United States (though this was certainly already on the rise at the time of its release), flat panel television sets mounted on walls, the ability to watch six channels at once, Internet video chat systems such as Skype, increased use of plastic surgery, head-mounted displays, and automated fueling systems. The film also correctly predicted a future where video games do not need hands (Microsoft Kinect) or, at the very least, do not need traditional controllers (Wii Remote). [x] -- source link
