Too bad 2015 won't look the same way it did in the movie. ZanyDragon (talk) 17:46, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
It was a comedy retro-future and not a serious prophecy to begin with. Yet we do have flatscreens, Google glass is coming, Kinnect will let you play games without using your hands ... "Internally" we must assume that the time-stream has been altered, perhaps by butterfly-effects emering from seemingly insignificant changes Marty and Doc effected in 1885. I recently added a little speculation to that effect to the "2015" page. Tirindo (talk) 19:14, January 7, 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for starting this thread. One thing that's somewhat of a surprise is that, although cellphones were around in 1989 when the filming took place, nobody envisioned that most people would carry a phone with them by 2015. It wasn't just them, however; most science fiction from the 20th century didn't envision the universal use of cellphones or the internet in the 21st. And I think that a 17-year old visitor from 1985 to our 2015 would probably be surprised at how many people seemed to be "talking to themselves", unaware that they were carrying on a conversation on a phone.
