AggieDave 6 #1 October 21, 2005 Its only 10 years away until BTTF 2 comes true (Back to the Future) which took place in 2015 (for the first 1/2 of the movie). They had flying cars, hoverboards, self adjusting shoes, jackets and self drying clothes. Nevermind all of the other cool stuff like "Mr. Fusion", the rehydration microwave, super screen TV, faxes in every room that's very small and the fresh fruit garden in the ceiling of the kitchen. There's many many more things, but that's the biggie (besides the holographic billboards/ads). Where are they? They've only got 10 years to get the technology rolling far enough along to be cost effective for the average consumer.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I'm definitely older than you because when I watched that movie, I was old enough to realize that things wouldn't be like that a mere 30 years into the future. Sad, but true. On the other hand, you made a good point, earlier. We might very well be in the Matrix right now... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh man, what I wouldn't give to go back to 'Snore or Orange back in the '60s and some how talk my way on a load with my modern gear. Dive out and be all over the RW faster than they're used to, dump and then swoop the hell out of my canopy in the landing area. Gather my stuff up, jump in a car and disappear. Talk about wigging some people clean out! Oh, I am watching TBS right now.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
