It's been 25 years since the events of the original Back to the Future movie. I think we're supposed to measure the predictions on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, from the second movie. At that point, we can look forward to hoverboards, a $39,999.95 hover conversion for our cars, and skewed skyways. Predictions in movies and television aren't always too accurate. In Blade Runner, we saw Atari and other companies becoming big names in the future. In Back to the Future, now semi-defunct Texaco was in the spotlight.
However, we've got less than five years to pull it off. Not wanting to be a naysayer, but I really don't think we can leap forward that much in such a short measure of time. As I'm fond of saying, progress can usually be measured one inch at a time. Now where's my Pepsi Perfect? I'd like to catch Jaws 19 in the theaters.
See ya.
