10 things I Learned About the Future by Watching Back to the Future II

Page 2 of 2

5. There will be hover-converted transportation Instead of using wheels to get to your destination - why not fly to your destination? Though it has been proven that flying is the safer form of transportation, this may not be the case in the future because skyways will be jammed just as if there was a traffic jam. Also, you would be more susceptible to things such as lightning.

4. Clothing will automatically self-adjust With the ever constant obesity problem in the United States, whoever invents this will be very wealthy. The reason being is because for some, it is really hard to find certain sizes that fit well and are flattering to the body.

3. Dust-repellant paper will exist This one has already happened in the form of the electronic tablet and the Kindle. Though both aren't totally dust-repellent, the pages are because they are electronic.

2. Filling up at the gas station will no longer be self-service Imagine this: you pull up to a service station and a robotic arm fills up your tank. You don't even have to get out of the car. This would be a pretty cool thing to have in the future especially for those with disabilities who can drive.

1. Remote-free video games will exist Video games have come a long way since Back to the Future II was made. The cool thing is we now have the Microsoft Kinect - which only uses a motion sensor bar. In other words, you are the remote. The days of accidentally throwing the remote at the television or slamming down the remote in anger are over.
