If you've been following the news in the last couple of hours, today is the exact date when Marty McFly travels forward in time in Back to the Future 2. Now it's 2015. However, none of the technology depicted in the movies has been invented or released (to the general public). There's no hoverboards, no Air McFly, no flying cars. Heck, we still have four wheeled cars! What happened?
You can purchase self-lacing shoes from Nike as well. Most of the things depicted in the movie do exist, they just don't work exactly like in the movie.
Actually, that's incorrect. Lots of technology in the movie has been shown to have happened or have been said to be happening.
True, although hoverboards and flying cars as mentioned in the article are not in wide circulation with the public. Yes, they're here, but not everybody has them.
