'Back to the Future' Day: What We Have & What We Don't

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – It's October 21, 2015 and Back To The Future Day has finally arrived.

It's the day Marty MacFly travels into the future in the classic 1980's movies.

While the day has come, we see there are some things the movie got right and some it got wrong.

It's the date Doc Brown punched into the Delorion, sending Marty McFly Back to the Future.

We were promised 3D movies, video calls that look a lot like Skype and Google Glass style glasses. Not bad.

Our houses aren't cluttered with fax machines in 2015 but in some cases, the future is trying to catch up.

A Boston company has produced a flying car. Nike created a shoe just like the ones Marty McFly wore and the coolest thing that's happening is the hover board thing.

Everyone it seems has tried to make a hover board, including Lexus, in time for Back to the Future day but many agree they don't quite work like Marty's did.

"We have to talk about a major thing they got wrong, which is hover boards. While we're getting close to hover boards, we're still not quite there," said Mashable Viral Content Editor Annie Colbert.
