Great Scott! It's 2015!

The year is a favorite among pop culture enthusiasts as it was depicted in the 1989 cult film Back to the Future Part II, which saw Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly travel to the future, then back to the past (well, an alternate present, if you want to get technical), then really back to the past, but more importantly, it showed us cool futuristic stuff that we could possibly look forward to having in 2015.

Here are 11 things Back to the Future Part II "predicted" for this year, in order of appearance in the movie:

1. Flying cars

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads," Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) famously said from the driver's seat of his aerodynamic DeLorean, sitting beside a shocked McFly and girlfriend Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue, who replaced Claudia Wells).

Flying cars are actually being developed. Patents have been filed for them and a prototype for a car-plane hybrid called AeroMobil 3.0, which could potentially travel more than 430 miles in one trip, was unveiled several months ago.
