Back in 1989, Back To The Future II painted a pretty awesome picture of what October 2015 would look like. I'm fairly certain Doc Brown would never lie to us... Right?

Nike Power-lace: Never tie your shoelaces again? Sign me up! Nike actually released a look-a-like version in 2014, but a fully functional version should be hitting stores any day now.

Food Hydrators: Who doesn’t want to be able to carry a dehydrated pizza in their back pocket, ready for hydration and consumption at any time? Come on Black & Decker, get developing!

Hoverboards: A lot of almost-hoverboards have come out, including some that do actually work over water (see various videos of drone and similar types). Hopefully Ole St. Nick will be leaving a lot of these under the tree this Christmas.

Auto-drying Jackets: Get soaked in a torrential downpour? No problem, your jacket will dry itself! Not sure which design will be producing these but Dr. Brown assured us they're coming so we believe!

Fax Machines: Better go grab one from a thrift-shop or dig your old one out of storage, ’cause this year fax machines are back baby!

The Scenery Channel: This is kind of a thing in those uppity $300 a night doggie hotels.

Fingerprint Recognition Door Locks: If you can use your fingerprint to unlock an iPhone, you must be able to use it to unlock a door somewhere in the world...

Phone Glasses: Technically there's Google Glass, but they just don’t look as rad as the Back to the Future version.

Droid Dog Walkers: Time to cancel your contract with your neighborhood dog walker! The automated solution to all your dog walking problems is just around the corner.

Robotic Gas Pumps. If, based primarily on Back to the Future II, you’ve avoided learning how to use a gas pump so far, you’ll b eagerly awaiting this one!

Retractable Indoor Garden: If Marty and Doc taught us anything, it’s that gardens are about a thousand times better when they float.

Flying Cars: Our cars are just barely learning to drive themselves, but are taking to the skies this year!
