Which Back to the Future predictions came true?
JOBURG – Shoes do not tie themselves yet, but we do have 3D objects on digital screens.
Back to the Future starring Micheal J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd was released 30 years ago and became an instant hit with viewers. The film reportedly racked up earnings of USD300 million worldwide at the box office, making it one of the top earning movies of 1985.
Today, 21 October 2015 marks a special day in the movie as this was the very day that Marty McFly (Fox) went to in the future and had to become acquainted with a different world.
This technologically developed world had him bemused.
On the very day McFly went into the future, we have to ask ourselves, did they predict the current technological strides we are facing?
Let us tally up all the things that the movie got right.
The movie predicted 2015 would see people having flat screen TVs and thumb print capabilities to access equipment.
The hit also saw us have 3D objects on screens and being able to video call.
Hoverboards have also, apparently already been invented.
These are pretty much familiar with us by now.
The science fiction movie did get some things wrong though.
We are yet to see shoes that can tie themselves and flying cars.
We can only wait to see what the coming years hold for us.
