IIRC this is what Doc called the device he put trash into to juice the delorian in BttF. It's still there in later episodes of BttF so I count it.
There's been progress in this area in the past 6 years.
That's why we have to get a lot of scientists & software programmers & engineers from out of the country.
Blame your lazy generation.
Now come on! Pick up the mood! Self-sizing shoes, everyone! Aren't you pumped?
So, no hoverboard or self-sizing shoes, but STILL no orbiting Hilton, no regular passenger flights to and from orbit, no base on the moon, no serious plans to explore the rest of the solar system. DAMN!
digg_title = '2015 is Almost Here and I Don't Have a Hover-Board';
Notice the single quote in "Don't"? That breaks that line of javascript code, because you're using single quotes around it too and thus the script aborts at that point. So when the diggthis.js runs in the next script, the url and title remain unchanged from the post above, because the script code before it aborted early.
Change your digg code to use double quotes, or to run titles through quote-escaping code first.

Hope this helps!
Go to K-mart. They've got the best prices for hover-boards.
lmao.
GREAT post btw.
There are still eight long years for all this to happen! Don't lose hope!
Here is a link for the Door Locks.

Doesn't sound like it'll be the size of a Mr. Coffee anytime soon though. :)
and what was that hover-thing that suspended George McFly upside-down?
Just in case anybody is interested, this site: http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-N... details what sort of science fiction things have come to pass in the "real world".

"Robert Zemeckis, the film's director and special effects genius, became fed up with people asking him how the hover board sequences were done, and, according to Michael J. Fox, he began answering, "What do you mean, how did we do it? It's a real hover-board. It flies. Michael [J. Fox] just practiced a lot." His exasperation-fueled flippancy only served to heighten the rumor; now even the director was confirming it!
The hover board's failure to appear on toy store shelves was attributed to pressure brought to bear upon Mattel by parents' groups concerned for the safety of children, and once again Zemeckis was right there to stir the pot: "Hover boards have been around for years, but parents' groups worry that kids will get hurt, so they've pressured the toy companies not to put them on the market," he said. "We got our hands on some."
www.hovertech.com are the only company in the world(as far as i know) that is working on the technology. And let me tell you, they are very close to making it a reality.
