Back in 85, they thought 2015 sounds futuristic enough for hoverboards and self lacing shoes.

I mean, self lacing shoes is really not hard to do. We could have them now. It's just impractical (and potentially dangerous) to put motors, sensors, and a battery in the article of clothing that takes the most impact, experiences the most wear and tear, and it's in closest proximity to puddles of all your clothing items when elastic exists and serves well enough for casual wear.

I repeat, and will continue to repeat until it is no longer necessary: where. is. my. god damned. HOVERBOARD!?
