What Would Doc Brown Think?

I was watching Back to the Future tonight (ahhhh the joy of sort-of winter holidays!) and in the beginning of the movie Doc Brown wants to go 25 years into the future....


...Which would have landed him in 2010! What would Doc Brown think? In the end, he ends up going ahead 30 years instead, which places him in 2015, not too far off, and when he comes back the DeLorean can fly and it's powered by garbage fuel. While I don't know about 4 and a bit years in the future, but at the moment, while there are some cars that manage to be powered on kinds of waste (there's a car in my hometown that runs on old deep fryer grease) they're sort of still working on the flying car thing. Would Doc have been disappointed? Or would iPhones and the internet be fascinating enough?
