I had no idea today is that day. Yes, I watched the first installment of the movie back then. But, I've never watched the second and third sequels. And I read it was in the second sequel that 21st of October 2015 was entered to the DeLorean Time Machine as 30 years into the future date. How neat! 
In 1980s, the movie predicted how the world would be by October 21, 2015. And now that the actual date has arrived, it's interesting to see how close or far off the predictions are. 
One thing I know, the movie portrayed a world with flying cars by now. And I don't think we're quite there yet, aren't we?

They are working on flying cars and someone has invented a working hoverboard, but mostly hoverboard is being used to describe the wheeled swagway, which is a cross between a skateboard and a segway. Honestly, though, the second movie is crap. The first is brilliant and the third is charming but the middle one is really bad.

We have a rather different future than Marty and Doc saw - given my contempt for skateboards I am glad hoverboards never happened, at least yet

@akshat007 I tried a skateboard once and fell off in seconds. I decided they should be banished on the basis of my abject failure to instantly master the craft - same with hoverboards lol

@arthurchappell haha I suppose it's like ice skating. You have to get a few bum bruises before you actually start enjoying it

That is pretty cool. I remember in my arts class back in primary school, whenever we were asked to draw a picture of what the "future" would look like, for some reason everyone in the class would start drawing flying cars.

Oh I love that movie. I had seen all the three parts of " Back to the Future" during my younger years. You have to see all of them. Oh, how I wish our cars will fly by now hahaha.

I would be curious to see a side by side comparison over what we have at this point and what we dont
