I have to tell you about the future I'm Bridget Carey this is your C net update it's not every day that tomorrow becomes today but here we are October 21st 2015 it's the date Marty McFly visits in the movie Back to the Future Part 2 and the world went wild on Wednesday for the nostalgia of a future that was dreamed up by a movie made 30 years ago and although we're not living in the future exactly as the movie predicted perhaps this is just an alternate timeline created by Biff well there is plenty of technology from the movie that is commonplace today just like Marty in his future home we could video chat on any screen in the house Jennifer opens the door with her thumbprint and you can install fingerprint logs today for your home as well as use prints to pay for things at the store companies are making all sorts of headgear that's connected to our smartphones so you can see who's calling and use voice commands to control things like the visors used by Marty's future kids and just like the fly in USA today use camera it's no surprise to see a news outlet put a camera on a drone and what about walking your dog with a drone although it's not possible yet some people have tried to make it work like in this video that went viral last year by New Yorker Jeff Myers and is very obedient Golden Retriever with all the Phantom's surrounding the movie brands are milking the media squeezing every gigawatt they can out of it Pepsi sold bottles of the fictional Pepsi perfect soda that you see ordered at cafe 80s making only 6500 available and at $20 a bottle these collectibles sold out instantly but fans were ranging about how it went on sale before you could even find it in an Amazon search the Amazon page is filled with low reviews over the lack of communication about when you could buy it Nike got the geek verse buzzing with a debut of real self-lacing sneakers first there was a cryptic tweet sent to Michael J Fox then Nike told reporters that the power lacing Air Mag sneakers were in New York City and the Michael J Fox foundation tweeted this image of the actor wearing the shoes saying that they are real and coming in spring of 2016 Nike has created non powered versions of the shoe before which go for as much sixteen thousand dollars on eBay just think how much people will pay for powered laces you can grab a copy of the USA Today newspaper from the movie on Thursday that's because the issues shown in the movie is dated October 22nd and USA Today is printing a special edition cover for new stands on Thursday USA Today also changed its logo on its website to match the one from the movie and the ride-hailing app lyft ran a promotion in New York City where you could get picked up in a DeLorean unfortunately today where we're going we still need roads but you never know what can change in the next thirty years the future is whatever you make it so make it a good one for CNET I'm Bridget Carey see you in the future
