5 things Back to the Future got right about 2015?
It's 21/10/15 so where are all the flying cars?
WHAT’S all the fuss about? Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd were great as Marty and Doc but this was still a cheesy 1980s sci-fi flick. What did it get right about the future we now live in?

1. Big-screen televisions and video conferencing: The film features several scenes of characters watching screens very much like the oversize ones we actually use these days.
2. News drones: During a crucial scene in the film, a USA Today drone can be seen flying around the Hill Valley courthouse taking pictures.
3. Hands-free video games: Marty McFly, plays an arcade game called Wild Gunman at Café 80’s in 2015. Two kids are shocked that McFly has to use his hands to play, calling it a “baby’s game.”
4. Video glasses: Marty McFly’s troublesome kids wear high-tech goggles to the dinner table, which are remarkably similar in function to Google Glass, Oculus Rift and Samsung VR.
5. Hoverboards: Probably the coolest thing in Back to the Future, besides the flying car. But do we have them in 2015?
WATCH: Doc Brown has a special message just for you.
