Damn the 80s overrated us... or maybe Marty messed something up while he was here today which ultimately changed the course of the future... what happened? :eek:

[iamgine]

Flying cars are actually available. It's called Terrafugia.

[9erempiree]

actually great thread and a lot of the stuff in the movie, we have today.

I was watching that movie months ago and I was amazed how much of the stuff we have today was influenced by that movie of some sort.

Especially the scene where he goes to his home and those electronics were just nuts.

Especially when the dude was Skype-ing....lol

Interesting... :lol

[9erempiree]

this particular scene was crazy when Marty was Skyping and under the person's name it listed their occupation, favorite food and other interests.

It really reminds me of what's going on today and people and their interests and occupation on Facebook.

EDIT: and that television is a flat screen too....lol...this movie was like some sort of prophecy.

[L.Kizzle]

It's 2012, we should be living like the Jetsons by now.

self drying technology does exist and Nike pretty much created it but it's not instant.

Dri-Fit technology

Isnt that just one of those breathable athletic wear? Hey you are at least optimistic :D

[Velocirap31]

I think things like iPads and 3D screens with no glasses would be more unbelievable than hoverboards back in the 80's.

..true, but they would also probably have side effects like eye bleeding, eye sprains or become cross eyed from staring at non 5:4 screens, 4:3 screens is as wide as they can go.. LOL

[QuebecBaller]

The real date in Back to the Future is 21 Oct. 2015

NOT 2012

[CelticBaller]

I'm pretty sure it was 2015


Can't wait for the hoverboards :banana:

waiting for hoverboards with cannons on them

[-p.tiddy-]

I wear my jean pockets inside out now...

[ConanRulesNBC]

LOL. This is the second time in a month that people have fallen for this BTTF crap. It's NOT the real date. Didn't anyone actually watch the movie?

[miller-time]

:applause:

[falc39]

eh, i'm still more disappointed that skynet didnt become self-aware :(

[Myth]

I used to live by a building that looks just like the Skynet building. It was also a technology place.

[bluechox2]

when will i get my spaceship, dammit

[Myth]

When do we get to have mental sex like in Demolition Man? We're halfway between 1993 (movie release date) and 2032 (when the movie takes place). Also, we should be using the "more sanitary" 3 sea shells method to wipe by now. I know those things take place way before 2032, because Sandra Bullocks didn't even know what toilet paper was and regular sex was an afterthought.

[Myth]

While we're at it, Predator 2 told us that by 1997 Jamaicans and Colombians should have been having drug wars in the open streets of Los Angeles while every cop in the city has laser sights on their pistols.

They don't have them in the Philippines? Damn. We've had flying cars and hoverboards in the west since the mid 90's. Everybody knows that.

I'm not confident in the scientists behind that since they clearly don't know what frictionless means

[Ca$H]

The real date in Back to the Future is 10/21/2015
Great Scott!! Today is 10/21/2014.

We have a flying car and now apparently a hoverboard.

[embersyc]

Hendo is using magnetic levitation, which means the board will have to be on a special surface to work.
