How Close Are We To The 2015 Of Back To The Future?

7. Wearable Tech

Say, those smart glasses look an awful lot like Oculus Rift, don€™t they? With the likes of Google Glass becoming less of a novelty and more of a way of spotting dickheads at 20 paces, and all manner of fitness trackers, smart watches and NFC enabled jewellery, wearing our technology is nothing out of the ordinary these days. Even if we aren€™t all wandering around in virtual reality specs just yet, consider the amount of time in your waking day when there isn€™t some kind of screen in your field of vision - for a lot of people this could probably be counted in minutes. The perhaps accidental prediction that the people of 2015 will spend more time staring at their devices than at their friends and loved ones feels pretty close to the mark.
