21st October 2015, unless you’ve been hiding
under a stone, aren’t a fan of 80s Sci fi films executively produced by Steven Spielberg
or just simply can’t stand the music of Huey Lewis and the News, you can’t fail
to have noticed that the moment has finally arrived where what was once
depicted as a look into our future has just become yet another date set firmly
in the past.
For as those of you who are familiar with the back to the
future films will be aware, that aforementioned date is the exact point in time
when Marty Mcfly and Doc Brown jumped into the Delorean for a second time and
embarked on a trip of discovery to see what life had in store for them 30 years
in the future.
Once there they encountered various new fangled ideas and
gadgets and so it got me thinking about which ones would make my life a bit
easier if they actually did exist in real life in 2015.
Self tying shoelaces would be a godsend for those who have
kids who can spend the best part of a morning getting ready to go out then have
to stop numerous times en route because they haven’t fastened their laces
securely.
The adjusting to fit clothing could save parents thousands
on paying out for new uniform items sometimes just weeks after purchasing
because juniors body has decided to schedule a growth spurt in just at that
very moment.
And trying to guess whether or not to risk putting out the
washing in this manically changeable weather would be a thing of the past if
everything came with a self drying mode built in.
But mostly I wonder would I find trying to pass my driving
test much easier, if instead of motoring along the highways and spending every
lesson painstakingly trying to master my parallel parking, reversing round a corner
and other manoeuvres, I took to the skies in a vehicle that hovered and flew?
