So, I do have to confess, I am a super geek. This week marks the 25th anniversary of the Back to the Future events. (The movie came out in July 1985) Today I am watching all three BTTF movies. I am currently in the middle of the second movie and I wonder how we will get all of the things they have in the movie in less than five years.
First of all, flying cars and hoverboards. I am still waiting for this one and even if I am eighty years old, I will ride a hoverboard when they come out.
Mr. Fusion home energy system. Garbage into energy. Super cool. Plus, no emissions, saves the environment.
Fingerprint currency. Everything will be linked to a bank and you will just "thumb" a hundred dollars. The only problem I see with that is, oh, I don't know, people chopping off other people's thumbs to get their money.
Dehydrated meals and a rehydrator made by Black and Decker. Can you imagine your food storage with this?
Magical books that contain fifty years of sports stats that only take up about 200 pages. Oh, wait, that's the internet.
Cool glowy sidewalk lights.
Fax machines in every room of your house.
Power laces
Power jacket
Oh, and time travel.
Why did our scientists slack off?
One good thing, we have fifteen "Jaws" movies coming out in the next five years!
