I need your help! I only have 4 years to bring to pass the 2015 seen in Back to the Future Part 2. It's quite an undertaking, but if we get started now... well, "Anything is possible if you put your mind to it."
I'm not quite sure how we're going to get hoverboards or flying cars that soon, but let's focus on what we can do:
Teens- start wearing your pants inside out.
Everybody- start wearing as much neon lycra as you can get your hands on. Yes, you will look stupid momentarilly, but people will remember you as being a fashion pioneer once it catches on.
Only frequent shops/restaurants that are like the 80s Cafe or Blast from the Past. If entrepreneurs start to see how much money can be made from 80s nostalgia prodcuts and services, then they'd open many more of them until they're pretty much the only places to eat or shop.
Start wearing two neckties at the same time.
Get out your fax machine.
Wear hightops, so that when auto-laced shoes are invented, they look just like 30 year old sneakers.
Bundle all of your laserdiscs together in clear garbage bags. We probably don't have enough to put them on the curb for bulk pickup, but get them ready!
Use the picture-in-picture mode on your TV all of the time. Or just watch WookieeGroomer's Addicted to Star Wars a lot.
Buy as many talking appliances as possible, but make sure that they have the simplest of computer voices.
80s style haircuts are a must. Trust me, they will come back in style.
Maybe glue a bunch of sound effect boards to random parts of your clothes. So that you can taunt people with them at appropriate times.
Let's see, what else?
I'm contracting with a guy I found on instructables to make me lots of those acrylic hats. Like the little record player one that the girl with the hoverboard had. Those cost a few pennies though, so I'll need your help for financing.
Petition the Gov't to set up a "Weather Service".
And write DuPont and see how they're coming on that dust repellent paper.
Start buying Jaws movies and memorabilia by the truck load. They'll have to make 14 sequels in 4 years, but I'm sure they can do it if they have all of our money.
What else?
(Kind of sad that this movie's "prediction" was way off on just about everything except for gas prices. We look to be on target for the $7/gallon prices in 4 more years. Assuming we don't overshoot it. (Even more sad that the movie wasn't trying too hard to actually predict things and were probably trying to be as sensational as possible with things like gas prices. Instead, they were just right)).
