In the 1989 sci-fi film Back to the Future II, the protagonist, Marty McFly, travels forward in time to 21st October 2015.
Nine years on from this future date, how accurate were the film’s predictions about what society would look like?
What the film got right
As Marty, Jennifer and Doc stumble out of the iconic DeLorean time machine into 2015, the advancements in technology become instantly clear.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS CLASSIC FILM?
Doc uses his watch to accurately forecast that the rain will stop in five seconds.
While the weather reporting in 2024 can’t be that precise, we do have smart watch technology that can be used to access weather reports.
MEET OUR 10/10 CHAT HOST STACY
When getting his bearings, Marty is asked to contribute to clock tower repairs via a wireless payment device.
The device looks, somewhat, like a tablet.
In 2024, many consumers now paying for goods using contactless payment either with credit cards, debit cards or apps.

An unconscious Jennifer is identified by police via her thumbprint, and is able to open the door to the future McFly household thanks to the same technology.
Although not yet mainstream, the technology certainly exists to allow homeowners to use their fingerprint as their key.
Also, most of us already use technology that requires biometric identification.
Nearly all phones now require face ID or a thumbprint.
ARE YOU DOWN WITH THE LATEST BINGO LINGO?
Poor future Marty McFly is fired via a video call.
Something that is now a regular occurrence thanks to the abundant video call technology we have in 2024.
Although, this wasn’t so popular in 2015, the pandemic firmly cemented our reliance on virtual conference platforms.
YOU COULD WIN OVER £2 MILLION PLAYING THESE GAMES
The people of 2024 aren’t quite as obsessed with smart glass technology as the future McFly household appear to be.
However, virtual reality headsets are soaring in popularity, with the latest being Apple’s Vision Pro.
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WAGERING REQUIREMENTS
For now, commercial drones are primarily used for entertainment and photography.
However, with ever-evolving plans to expand drone uses (e.g. for parcel deliveries), it’s entirely possible that one day drones will be walking dogs, as seen in Back to the Future II.
The film certainly predicted drones moving beyond just a military use and into civilian hands.
