Now that it's October 21, 2015, everyone's upset we don't have flying cars or self-tying shoes. Flying cars, sure, that's a bummer, but who can't tie their own shoes besides children and people with no dexterity? Never heard of velcro? 

Being "Back to the Future Day," the internet has exploded with gifs, memes, and short videos outlining the differences between the version of 2015 in Back to the Future II and the one we inhabit today. 

And it's definitely a blast from the past: seriously surprising how detailed everyone's memory of the second installment in a childhood series is.

But the fact is, there's throwback appeal for days. Not only was the trilogy massively popular for millennials, but news regarding prediction products has been buzzing all year. 

Specifically Nike. Nike has been teasing the release of Nike "Mag" self-lacing kicks for months, and really amping it up on Twitter lately, supposedly doing something in New York City today that nobody really knows about yet.

But what's weird about all this is that writer/director Robert Zemeckis never wanted to take the franchise into the future. 

He commented in the DVD extras of Back to the Future II that he doesn't like seeing the future in any movie, and that, "You can't be right. Even Stanley Kubrick has always mis-predicted the future in his movies." 

Seriously, event the supposed "Team of Destiny," the Chicago Cubs was a joke. Of course, they've been their own joke ever since they got cursed by a goat, and now that they're down 3-0 to the Mets, well, it's not looking any better. 

But perhaps the best roundup of all the conjecture regarding the past, the present, and the future is this short video from College Humor's YouTube page. They tell it like it is, not like how we wanted it to be, and it's hilarious and on point.
