Where’s the 2015 ‘Back to the Future Part II’ promised us?

It's 2015 — Oct. 21, 2015, to be exact — and where we're going, we still need roads.

We may not have flying cars, but we also aren't absurdly reliant on fax machines, so it's nearly a wash.

In celebration of "Back to the Future" Day — the date Marty, Jennifer and Doc Brown traveled to in 1989's "Back to the Future Part II" — here's a look at some of what the movie promised today would look like.

Despite winning their first playoff series since 2003, the Cubs seem as unlikely to sweep the World Series this year as they have at any point since 1908. And, sadly, SlamBall never really took off.

We still don't have the Black & Decker Hydrator, so we have to order Pizza Hut the old-fashioned way. And the sleep-inducing alpha rhythm generator that knocked Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue) unconscious so she wouldn't remember the future is still only a dream.

In the opposite of a dream, we still have lawyers, which Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) told us were abolished sometime before 2015.

The movie was a little closer to reality with its depictions of thumbprint locks, video conferencing and a gizmo that looks a bit like Google Glass.

Given the world's love affair with drones, "Back to the Future Part II's" dog-walking models should be here any day now. And as for the rejuvenation clinics like the one Doc visited where, among the many treatments offered, he had his blood changed and his spleen and colon replaced, well, something's been keeping Keith Richards alive all these years.

Nike has been trying to perfect power laces like the ones depicted in the movie for years, and the company set the Internet ablaze Tuesday night with a cryptic tweet to Michael J. Fox: .@realmikefox see you tomorrow.

And Pepsi created the opposite of excitement when its extremely limited supply of Pepsi Perfect sold out instantaneously. Since, odds are, you didn't get your collectible bottle of the future's favorite soft drink, here's a look at the commercial Pepsi made for it, along with the commercial for the still unavailable hoverboard and the trailer for "Jaws 19":
