11 Predictions That Back to the Future Part II Got Right

04-05-2011 • www.11points.com

My favorite part of the "Back to the Future" trilogy is the first half hour of "Back to the Future Part II"... where Doc and Marty travel to 2015. Seeing them in the past was OK, seeing them in the Wild West was eh, but seeing them in the future remains, for me, the most entertaining and memorable part of all three movies.

So, since it's 2009 and we're only six-and-a-half years away from the future they traveled to (October 2015)... I think we're close enough to do an audit. How'd they do? How accurate were their predictions?

In my too-much-time-on-my-hands research of the subject, I ended up finding 11 good predictions from "Back to the Future Part II"... and 11 bad predictions. Today's list is the first, where I'll go over the future predictions that "Back to the Future Part II" got right. (The other list will come out later in the week.) [ETA: That list was posted Friday April 10th here.]
