When we go back to watching the movie Back to the Future 2, upon seeing Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett Brown traveling in the time machine to 2015, it is inevitable to sketch a smile on his face. After all, the 2015 shown in the 1989 film is very different from the one we live in real life.
But, if the futuristic world imagined by the film’s creators did not come true, it can be said that we live in a world full of interesting technologies (and, sometimes, not so complex) that had not been imagined back in 1985, when the feature premiered.
O awesome.club gathered some examples of everyday life that show that the future has already arrived. And we’re lucky to live in it, don’t you think?
