Top of Mind Thursday October 22, 2015: Back to the Future Again
Yesterday was “Back to the Future Day,” the actual day Marty McFly and Doc travel forward to in the 1985 film Back to the Future.
The 2015 envisioned included flying cars, hoverboards, and garbage-driven fusion reactor-powered cars–things we don’t have yet have and aren’t likely to have in the near future.
What it did not include were smart phones, FitBits, GPS-enabled apps like Uber, or even the Internet in any shape or form. In fact, in the film, fax machines were still an integral part of the landscape.
Will we have flying cars by 2045? Who knows. But I’m willing to predict we’ll have something new and exciting, some new technology that will shatter expectations and change our lives drastically. And Millenials will probably be struggling to figure out how to work with the new generation of XYZ/ABCers that just doesn’t seem to understand the way the world is used to working.
We can’t accurately predict the future in detail. But the more things change, the more they stay the same in many regards.
