Today’s Marty McFlys aren’t cowering in corners, they’re creating YouTube videos that are getting millions of views and generating millions of dollars. ![]() But today we count over 800 networks, DVRs, and on demand services that allow us to watch programming wherever we want, whenever we want.

Like all science fiction, part of the fun in BTTF was imagining what life might be like in the impossibly distant 2015. Shudder to think what would happen if Marty McFly had never been born or even worse, if Biff Tannen were allowed to profit off of an out-of-time sports almanac.
