As you all know by now, the future is officially here.

Today is October 21, 2015. That's the date in the "future" that Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel to in "Back to the Future 2". So naturally, everyone wants to know if that future matches up with our present.

The movie actually got some things right, but of course, some things have not come to fruition.

The things the movie got right include:

  • Big screen TVs
  • Video conferencing
  • News drones
  • Hands-free video games
  • Video glasses

Things we haven't seen yet include:

  • Flying cars
  • Hoverboards (ok, we know there are some attempts but really nothing like the movie)
  • "Jaws 19"
  • Shoes with self-tying laces (although Nike teased this may actually come true today)

One thing that we are unsure will happen, although it's not likely, is the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series. They lost last night to the New York Mets and are down 3-0 in the National League Championship Series.

Although, everything that hasn't happened yet could still occur. The future doesn't start until we hit 4:29pm today.

What we do know is that we're having a Back to the Future Party in downtown Lafayette today no matter what!
