And in the sequels he’d go to 2053, then 1923.
The differences wouldn’t be nearly as dramatic though.
The whole no internet thing would be pretty different. Marty was a high schooler. Going back to 93 would still be quite weird for him
The internet absolutely existed in 1993, but it was vastly different from today
Yeah, the biggest delineation is “world without computers and digital electronics” vs. the world after all that proliferated. I’d still consider the 80s and 90s part of the “modern” era, what we used to call the “information age” or “computer revolution”.
Pretty much all our modern tech is just more advanced versions of the same shit we already had in the 80s. Even social media (BBSs).
I wonder how many people whose childhood was in the 50s felt the same when BTTF came out, that it was all still the modern era?
I’m not sure, my Dad is a 50s kid and he always complained that shit went downhill in the 80s. He displayed absolutely no interest in the media of the decade, the culture, music, or whatever, and probably felt very out of place. I don’t feel the same way. I am just as comfortable with the world now as I was back then.
I would watch that
I’d go back to '93. Vs. had just been released, Jurassic Park was in theaters, the US dollar had almost exactly double the buying power it has today, and I still remember how to design web sites using tables.
