The Technology of ‘Back to the Future’
In 1989, teenage time traveler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) returned to theaters in Back to the Future Part II,
the sequel to director Robert Zemeckis’s original sci-fi comedy
classic. As the story unfolds, Marty and his temporal travel guide,
Doctor Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd), flash forward in time to the
exotic future environs of Oct. 21, 2015.
Alert
readers will note the proximity of that particular date. So how does
the movie’s conception of future sci-fi technology match up to our
current reality? It gets kind of interesting, actually. And that’s not
even counting the baseball thing.
Take
a look at our heavy comparison of 2015s above. (And no, neither suffers
from any problems with the Earth’s gravitational pull.)
