BACK TO THE FUTURE


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?
