Was Marty McFly right? NPR examines what Back to the Future 2 got right about 2015... Now that it's officially 2015, NPR breaks down what the eighties cult movie accurately (and inaccurately) predicated about this new year... (hint: flat screen televisions and Skype- yes. self lacing shoes- not quite yet).

Happy New Year! We are still wondering at how quickly this new year has arrived! Doesn't it seem as if each year zooms by? As we get set to carry out those newly made (or perhaps recycled for some) resolutions, we thought we'd have a bit of fun.

The Back to the Future series was an eighties cult hit, even as many of us took the Michael J. Fox -starring film predictions of future inventions quite literally. Part 2 in particular was about this very year-- 2015, so NPR has a list of some of the predictions Marty and co. got right-- and what they got wrong.
