Wow, that’s so long ago! It’s been so long, I don’t remember the 1990s at all :)

A Back to the Future reboot would be amazing if they did it right

I’m not convinced it’s possible for Hollywood to get this one right.

The differences wouldn’t be nearly as dramatic though.

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.

Well BBSs, Usenet, etc were far more niche. Social media today is nearly ubiquitous.

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

Mostly just in universities and government until 1994. There were BBSs and online services, but not really public internet.

Damn he’s older than I thought. My point is his popularity started end of the 90s In 93 he’s was unknown.
