    ... but what was about to surprise Marty most about 2015 was the modern replacement for the colostomy bag.

    Tired of the tat

    Could be a sign of gumpy old man syndrome, but I'm tired of all of the tat and hype generating "spontaneously" created memes, blogs and posts whenever a big media company wants to promote its wears.

    No portable consumer fusion reactors, no flying cars, no hoverboards.

    No hope.

    Pour me a drink, I'm heading off to travel back to the point before I paid $1,500 for this Google Glass. And people told me "that's $1,500 you'll never get back"... little did they know!

    Marty: Why is your coffee green?

    Marty Sr: I made this coffee myself - first I ate the beans, then I used a sieve to retrieve them - that's why it has the greenish tint.

    A digital wristwatch? That's a pretty neat idea.

      Really? Cos' I'm increasingly of the opinion that we've all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place.

    right, drink this before you go to college, don't forget to load the dishwasher, don't spend all day with those glasses on, and if you're back before 3pm remember that bloke from B&Q is coming round to measure up the kitchen - I finally got mom to agree to pay for new units. And clear up all your retro tat off the worktops before he gets here!

    The VR goggles couldn't do anything for the taste of the coffee, but at least they made the barista look attractive .
