Back to the Future II is a fan favorite. In fact, the entire trilogy is considered one of the best ones in the Sci-fi genre. It has defined the way that a lot of people look at time travel. To have a moving vehicle as the subject of time travel was a first to say. While the DeLorean itself was not a successful car and is widely considered a failure, it is iconic. This franchise made it highly iconic. However, the future that was shown in that film was quite extraordinary. Many of those technologies have not even been invented yet.
In the film, Doc and Marty went ahead to the future that was set in 2015. To us, 2015 passed more than seven years ago. However, so many items from that future are not here yet. So, do you think that those technologies can be invented, or will they forever remain in pop culture? Do you think we can see Marty’s hoverboard anytime soon?
Marty’s Hoverboard
Of course, we cannot talk about the technologies present at that time without mentioning this. It seemed like quite a cool product that functioned as a skateboard. However, there were no wheels underneath the board and that is what made it cool. It was levitating in mid-air!
Clothing Technologies
In the film, it was shown that there were shoes that tied themselves. All you had to do was tap on them and the shoes would tighten according to your foot. Similarly, there was a jacket in the future that dried itself. Not only that, but it adjusted its sleeves and size according to the wearer. That can be considered a smart jacket, controlled by AI.
A Smart Café
While we might be headed towards such a thing soon, it has not been completely implemented yet. In the movie, there was a café which was managed by androids and not people. It featured AI posing as famous personalities and serving customers to their liking. There was not a single human working on the side of the counter.
Flight Technologies
We could see that there were barely any roads in the future that we were shown. While it may not be entirely possible to create such an infrastructure right now, we can certainly start working towards flying cars. Highways in the air, all with signs and signals, would be a cool sight. That would certainly make airplanes obsolete.
“Re-hydrated” Food
Another aspect of the future we saw was a bite-size pizza being hydrated. It was put in a machine for a few seconds and came back out as a full-size pizza, all filled with toppings and cheese. It was perfectly cooked. Now that is the kind of technology that we would certainly love to see.
The movie is the epitome of sci-fi family fun, and we highly recommend going through the entire trilogy at least once.
Stay tuned for more from Brandsynario!
