From the Jan. 5, 2015, Time Magazine by Lily Rothman.
Moments from the Past You're Sure to Hear About in the Future.
OTH-- MARTY McFLY'S ARRIVAL IN THE FUTURE October 21: It's been more than two decades since "Back to the Future Part II" in which Michael J. Fox's character traveled to...2015. Your social-media feeds will be flooded by people disappointed we're all not riding around on hoverboards. I wonder if I would fall off that as well.
5TH-- CITIZENS UNITED DECISION January 21: The U.S. Supreme Court struck down regulations on corporate political spending. As the 2016 elections approach, those freed-up dollars are likely to flow. Just what we need, more government by the corps and GRB.
10TH-- FIRST YOUTUBE VIDEO April 23: It's 16.7 million views would be nothing for a top post today. But the 18-second clip, "Me at the Zoo," starring YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim, is likely to be heavily viewed as it reaches its 10-year milestone. A site that always costs me at least several hours.
An Anniversary for Everything. --Cooter
