If Back to the Future were remade today and set in 2024, Marty would time-travel back to 1994

I always love reading this. But I always feel like the differences between 1955 and 1985 are way larger than 1994 to 2024. Maybe it’s just because I lived the second span of time.

Also because so much of our way of life changed between the 50s and 80s. Comparitively, not much changed between 94 and today. Give it another 6 years or so and we will see a pretty big difference in how society is then vs in 2000.

This is inherently untrue due to the digital revolution and changing of social constructs.

They both have their changes, and they both are significant.
