'The Future' officially starts here, according to Back to the Future II - as today marks the date to which Marty McFly and the Doc travel in the sci-fi cult classic.

• In the past how did you think the future would look like around the year 2015? 
• Did you ever expect it to look like it is like to-day?
• What did Back to the future get wrong?

I think 6 ft off the ground is just the beginning. Imagine if a big tech company invests in the project, where this will be in  15 - 20 years. No more waiting 3 hours for a 2 hour flight! Yay!

I imagined excalators like moving pavements, especially in city centres' ... Leeds did have 2 particular outdoor / shopping centre ones, but I'd say long gone, particularly now that the glass Trinity Centre is open ... on my to do list to visit

Also personal hover back-packs like as seen in one particular James Bond movie

And swish / futuristic cars to be the norm, but not fly, that I didn't imagine

Thanks to the credits on the trailer as I just couldn't get the actor Michael J Fox's name
