The Future is Now!

There have been numerous articles explaining why the year 2015 isn't the future, however I would like to mix things up by posting an article explaining why 2015 IS THE FUTURE. First of all as we all know the year 2015 is the year they travel to in back to the future part 2, however most of those predictions are strangely accurate.

First of all let me touch upon holograms, in the movie they were dramatically real even though Marty says the shark still looks fake.  He ducked to avoid the attack. 

 The reality of holograms is actually just as dramatically realistic and terrifying. A holographic 2Pac preformed at Coachella while a holographic Michael Jackson preformed at the Grammy's 

In the movie, they parodied the success and exhausting sequels with the 19th installment. 

While it's not called Jaws, it's about killer sharks and it managed to make it's way to a third film. Strangely enough the film takes place in Universal Studios, the company responsible for Jaws. Bttf seems to have predicted our outlandish obsession with killer sharks. 

One of the most iconic part of Bttf2 is the hover board which Marty utilizes thorough out the film. 

While it seemed impossible, Lexus managed to create a fully functional hover board. From those who have ridden it state that it's extremely smooth and amazing to say the least.

After setting up the arcade machine the children reply with "You use your hands? That's a baby's toy"

While many speculated that the children were referring to the Kinect, it wasn't nearly popular to replace mainstream gaming. Although, these children are in the age range where they most likely might have something like pictured above. These are brainwave toys and they're on the market currently, they're toys that you can control with your mind. 

Some of the fashion seemed a bit outlandish in Bttf2, and almost ridiculous.

In reality the fashion of the people in the film is very similar to current raver culture fashion. It's even been argued that tights should not be worn as pants but they are anyway. 

In the film, future Marty gets a video chat from his boss and eventually gets fired. 

We currently have Skype so we can video chat anywhere. Marty seems to have a smart TV which would allow him to watch tv at the same time. Most likely Marty's printers were bluetooth. 

The flying cars were a major element of the film, so much so that the time machine was modified  to reflect that change. 

The flying car is in fact a reality.
