BttF2 Predicted Kinect 27 Years Ago

[Anenome]

Watch this scene from Back to the Future 2. While much of the movie's implicit predictions of what the future would be like are way off, this at least was spot on:

Marty finds himself in Cafe 80's early on in the movie, a place dedicated to 80's memorabilia, and finds Wild Gunman, a standup arcade game. Watch the kids' reactions.

By the way, Marty travels from 1985 to 2015, meaning we're only 4 years ago from hover-cars, fusion, and hoverboards, woo! ;)

Shame we missed the mark on the time machine though. :)

I never even noticed that the one kid is Elijah Wood.

There's another scene in Marty's house where they have a fake window tuned to "the Scenery Channel" which is clearly an in-home projector screen. They got that capability right too ;)

And, giant flatscreens! This looks awfully contemporary!
