  • Classrooms of the Future Marty Mcfly and Dr Emmett Brown Managed To
    Classrooms of the Future Marty McFly and Dr Emmett Brown managed to do it. They transported themselves through time in the film Back to the Future and its sequels. In the second film, on October 26, 1985, Dr. Emmett Brown arrived in the DeLorean time machine and persuaded Marty McFly and his girlfriend, Jennifer Parker, to travel to the future with him and help their forthcoming children. They travelled thirty years ahead to October 26, 2015. The film was actually made in 1989, some 26 years before the futuristic date in the film. The screenwriters, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, attempted to predict the future. According to Zemeckis, the 2015 depicted in the film was not meant to be an accurate representation of the future. However, the film did correctly predict a number of technological and sociological changes that occurred by 2015, including: the rise of ubiquitous cameras; the use of unmanned flying drones for newsgathering; widescreen flat-panel television sets mounted on walls with multiple channel viewing; video chat systems; hands-free video games; talking hologram billboards; wearable technology; tablet computers with fingerprint scanners; and head-mounted displays. Payment on personal portable devices was also depicted. I am also trying to predict a future: that of education, yet I am not looking 26 years hence. Rather I am looking at five to seven years and the change is likely to be just as impressive as in the film, only achieved in fewer years. This is due to the exponential growth in IT and the impact it is likely to have on education.

  • KILLING BONO a Nick Hamm Film
    KILLING BONO A Nick Hamm Film Production Notes Due for Release in UK: 1st April 2011 Running Time: 114 mins Killing Bono | Production Notes Press Quotes: Short Synopsis: KILLING BONO is a rock n’ roll comedy about two Irish brothers struggling to forge their path through the 1980’s music scene… whilst the meteoric rise to fame of their old school pals U2 only serves to cast them deeper into the shadows. Long Synopsis: Neil McCormick (Ben Barnes) always knew he’d be famous. A young Irish songwriter and budding genius, nothing less than a life of rock n’ roll stardom will do. But there’s only room for one singer in school band The Hype and his friend Paul’s already bagged the job. So Neil forms his own band with his brother Ivan (Robert Sheehan), determined to leave The Hype in his wake. There’s only one problem: The Hype have changed their name. To ‘U2’. And Paul (Martin McCann) has turned into ‘Bono’. Naturally there’s only one option for Neil: become bigger than U2. The brothers head to London in their quest for fame, but they are blighted by the injustices of the music industry, and their every action is dwarfed by the soaring success of their old school rivals. Then, just as they land some success of their own, Ivan discovers the shocking truth behind Neil’s rivalry with U2, and it threatens to destroy everything. As his rock n’ roll dream crashes and burns, Neil feels like his failure is directly linked to Bono’s success.

  • All the Things That Back to the Future Got Right (And Wrong)
    All the things that Back to the Future got right (and wrong) Posted 7 days ago by i100 staff in ents Upvote Wednesday 21st October 2015 marks the date that Marty McFly and Doc Brown flew through time to visit in the 1989 classic Back to the Future II. While the film, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd, made many fanciful predictions which we're still waiting for, it was surprisingly correct in some aspects. Here's what it got right and what it got wrong about the world we live in, in 2015: Right Fingerprint scanners Fingerprint recognition, like that used to pay for a taxi in the film, can be found on the latest iPhones and at US passport control. Fuelling cars on rubbish While you can't exactly scavenge through a wheelie-bin and force feed it through your car's petrol cap (as Doc does to the DeLorean), using waste as a fuel - in the form of biogas, is something we use in 2015. There's even a bus in Bristol that runs entirely on human and food waste. Hoverboard transportation The kind with wheels may be banned on British streets, but inventors in the US have managed to create a real hoverboard using powerful electromagnets and a metal course. The Hendo II, fronted by renowned skateboarder Tony Hawk will be launched on Wednesday. Hands-free games A young Elijah Wood and his pal denounce Marty for using a video game that needs a handset in the film, suggesting that by 2015 hands-free computer games would be mainstream.
