Between 1985 – 1990, we experienced the epic saga that is Back to the Future!
In the film, Marty McFly travels 30 years into the future to experience how it would be like, to 21st October 2015…
which is TODAY!
Some fans of the film would feel slightly disappointed that we don’t have everything that the movie predicted we’d be enjoying today, like self-buckling shoes, food hydrators, automatic dog-walkers, flying cars, etc.
But let’s take a look at the 8 things we DO have that are similar to BTTF’s predictions!
