1 ) Flying Cars
evidently , it is n’t just Doc ’s DeLorean that can fly . When Doc and Marty arrive at the future , they pop up in going the incorrect fashion on a highway — a main road at about 50 groundwork above the ground , complete with linger signs and street lamp ( although what the pit they ’re opine to be illuminating is unknown , because there ’s plain no street ) . Since there are plentitude of cars on the basis of 2015 Hill Valley , I ’m not sure if every car in the future tense could fly , but since absolutely 0 % of the cars in 2013 can fell , it ’s kind of a moot item .
2 ) Mr. Fusion
3 ) Alpha - Rhythm Generator
Since Marty was with his girlfriend Jennifer when Doc picked him up to go to 2015 , Jennifer got to tag along . And then she started enquire questions . And then Doc zapped her with an sleep - inducing Alpha - Rhythm Generator , instantly render her unconscious mind . Since this is pretty much a Pocket Date Rape Kit , it ’s probably for the unspoilt it does n’t be .
4 ) The Weather Service
manifestly the conditions is on a strict docket in 2015 ; Doc knows the exact time the pour rain he and Marty arrive in will stop , thanks to the Weather Service , presumptively a government agency that take care of such thing . Something tells me if the actual authorities were in charge of the atmospheric condition , it would still be precisely as helter-skelter as it is now .
5 ) Rejuvenation Centers
I ’m certain there are plenty of places call themselves rejuvenation centers in 2013 , but I bet they ’re in the main spas that put up massage and facials and such . The Rejuvenation Center Doc went to Delaware - aged him 30 days , enough that he had to wear down a safety prosthetic when he picked up Marty so he would n’t be baffled at Doc ’s newfound youth . This seems jolly more utilitarian than a massage .
6 ) Power Shoelaces
Since Marty postulate to simulate his son to prevent him from ending up in gaol , he has to dress like him , and this includes a pair of Nike Air Mags whose lacing mechanically constringe , basically link themselves for the wearer . Not only do we not have these , but Nike in reality secrete replication Air Mags in 2011 with non - functional power laces . If the proceeds had n’t move to the Michael J. Fox Foundation , it would have been a major dick move .
7 ) ego - Adjusting , ego - Drying Jackets
The other part of Marty ’s disguise ? A crown that adjusts to fit its wearer ’s body with the touch of a button . apparently , it would almost sure as shooting be more price efficient to just grease one’s palms clothes that fit , but the ego - dry out feature — which trigger off after Marty jumps in the town square ’s little lake — would be pretty swell .
- The U.S. Mail Fax Service
Like so many films of the ‘ 80s that seek to peek into the hereafter , BttF2 was convinced of the eternal viability of fax machines — to the point that even public letter box have facsimile machine machines . For the faxes you necessitate to send on the go !
9 ) Gas automaton
In Bttf2 , when you get your flying motorcar make full up , a loom robot actually fills the tank for you and then processes your dealings . In world , not only do we not have automaton workers pumping gun , he do n’t have human worker pump throttle either . We have to do it ourselves . That sucks .
10 ) Holographic Movie Theaters
Despite the passably recent spate of popularity for 3D moving picture , we still do n’t have really holographic motion picture like Jaws XIV . We also do n’t have holographical ads for film , like the giant , 3D , fantastically obviously data processor - render shark that launches itself from the cinema marquee to chomp / promote itself to Marty . I ’m more distressing about the advertizement , personally .
11 ) Pepsi Perfect
In the ‘ 80s themed diner Marty visit , he orders a Pepsi , and the diner automatically gives him a Pesi Perfect . I have no idea what makes Pepsi Perfect different from other Pepsi products other than its awesome container , but I ’d say if there ’s one item on this listing that might actually happen by 2015 , Pepsi Perfect is it .
12 ) Suspended Animation kennel
At one point , Doc mentions he left his andiron Einstein in a suspend vivification doghouse . As a preferent possessor who is emotionally traumatized whenever I have to board my pet , I really , really bid these matter were literal .
13 ) Remote Hovering News camera
When Griff and his yob buddies are being led aside from the courthouse they ’ve wrack by the police force , a hover news show television camera is now on the scene . It might not be a large mess for most people , but I imagine CNN and the other 24 - hr intelligence stations would kill for someone to invent these things .
14 ) Mobile Trashcans
When Doc needs to angrily discombobulate the sport almanac away , a small trash can blithely scoots by for him to conveniently put it in . Now , I ’m passably sure this deoxyephedrine can did n’t know Doc require it — that would take a outstanding deal of AI that I ’m pretty sure even the motion picture could n’t imagine — so I think these shabu cans just cheat on around . How that ’s more utile than a stationary glass can that people know where to find , I do n’t bang , but either way we still do n’t have them .
15 ) The Scenery Channel
This is the TV channel on the project television set in next Marty ’s household , which simply display a landscape . Honestly , since pretty much all TV providers have free music transmission channel , I ’m a petty surprised no one ’s thought to include this as a feature . It ’s be good than watching E ! , at least .
16 ) Chiropractic Hoverbelts
When Grandpa McFly arrives at Future Marty ’s house , he ’s thrown his back out . The solution ? Some kind of belted ammunition — that attaches to pegleg handcuff — which floats and carries George McFly upside down . I ’m not really sure of the skill of how this works , but peradventure 2015 knows something we do n’t .
17 ) Retractable Indoor Garden Center
Whenever a McFly wants a banana tree , he or she just get hold of up and grab one , like our primate ancestors might have . Of course , our primate ancestor were grab thing out of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , and the McFlys are grabbing them from their Indoor Garden Center , which hail down from the ceiling , and provides a mixture of fruits and vegetable decently of the vine / tree diagram / whatever . Someone seriously needs to get around to make up this , stat .
f
18 ) Food Hydrators
Besides roof bananas , the other detail the McFlys have for dinner party is a pizza , fresh from the hydrator . Of course , the pizza that Grandma Lorraine puts in the hydrator does n’t look dehydrated , it just look like a bantam pizza pie ; however , the hydrator both enlarges the pizza and cooks it . With , uh … hydration , I guess .
19 ) Phone Glasses
20 ) The Cubs Will Win a World Series
