College Humor gives the movie ‘Back to the Future’ an update to the actual future – which is right now! We live in that magical time that the Professor and Marty McFly visited on what was then, a far-off October 21st, 2015.
How different is the world that Hollywood and Sci-Fi writers imagined, from the one in which we’re living? It seemed reasonable (then) to imagine flying cars, hover boards, and maybe even robotic dog walkers would be the norm by now.Needless to say, the intrepid time travelers find a very different 2015 than the one they visited years before. See just how different things really are. Not even the Professor imagined the impact of technology, and self-tying shoes have given way to something that is frankly ugly.
October 21st has just passed, but it’s still fun – if a bit demoralizing to see how far we’ve actually come, and how much further we have to go to get to the future imagined in the wildly popular film.
