Back to the Future Day Has Finally Arrived
- 9 years ago
It is the day that Back to the Future fans have waited 26 years for, the moment the real world finally catches up to the future world imagined in the second film of the time-travelling franchise.
Film fans around the world will mark 21 October 2015, the date that Marty Mcfly and Doc Brown land in during their adventures in the 1989 film Back To the Future Part II.
The day has prompted numerous comparisons of how real-life 2015 compares with the fictional predictions.
While the film failed to foresee both the internet and mobile phones – and was not quite on the money with the double-tie fashion – the 2015 imagined in 1986 is otherwise not far off from how things have turned out.
Indeed, from self-tying shoelaces to hoverboards, thumb scanners and hi-tech wearable technology, the writers of Back to the Future II prove both prescient and agenda-setting in terms of inventions of the future.
