The movie was semi-right in that we'd have communications devices (IoT) throughout the house.

One thing that the writers got wrong… Nobody in the back to the future two movie had cell phones

[michaelgrantham]

That was a nod to the first BTTF when he told his mom's 1950s family that his family had 2 televisions.

The biggest flaw is that Old Biff takes the car back to 55 and changes the future, then returns the car to a future that should have changed but hasn’t. I’m fact he didn’t even need to return the car.

[ianbelletti]

Not completely wrong but similar idea to what we have now. You can receive your text, email, or phone call anywhere in the house now due to something called a cell phone.

[donovangoedken]

The modern replacement for this is Amazon home devices 😂

He should have been a consultant to ensure some scientific credibility .😂❤

Idiocracy got most of it right minus two small things the smart phone and the length of time for people to dumb down.

Fahrenheit 451 (1966) was great at depicting the "future" home.

Now you just get a text that says “ 🚪 👋 lol “

What they got wrong was that they couldn't go back to the future and stop Biff from taking the time machine -after all, Biff and the time machine both got back after dropping off the magazine

[PROUD_TITOIST]

Yeah kinda funny in all older movies of the future stuff the protagonist would use the phones that were used in those times...which is kinda funny when you see movie that is based in like 2050 but they use those old walkie talkie type phones or at least something like old Samsungs or Nokia bricks

I worked for Dai Nippon ( IMSA) The World's largest printing company, we make the fax film for Xerox, we also make the film for the Photo Depts, for Walmart and Walgreens

[MrAceMcGee]

One of the fax machines was in the closet too 😂

[ziggythedrummer]

It was possible in 2015 to send a document to someone's printer remotely, but not common. Even rarer now because who wants to waste ink and paper?

[ItsDiscoTime]

Nah I just send messages off the fridge

[valintino]

In high school, someone told me, “when people would rode around horses in the early 1900’s, if we can go back, and ask them what innovative thing they want next, they would’ve said faster horses”

[jamesphungphol]

At that time, I watched the movie and understand that there was only 1 telephone line. The telephone line connected with 3 Fax. So if there is a call or a fax... it will all get the same messages.

I blame the director. He should have went to the future to find a credible reference for his film.

[brianthomas]

once again, neil proving he is the steven segal of science
