So if there was a 30 year anniversary remake of Back to the Future, is 2015 sufficiently different from 1985 as 1985 was from 1955?
Music, fashion, slang and social norms would be different yes.

The biggest thing is probably computer devices. Computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones etc. Cars have also changed quite a bit. Self parking cars and stuff is a pretty crazy technology when you think about it.
Their prediction of 2015 was actually not that far off though lot of the stuff portrayed in there we probably have the technology for, it's just that for financial reasons, and other reasons, it's not feasible. People can't drive on a 2D surface, do you really think 3D driving would be ideal? Then there's the price of gas. Stuff like self lacing shoes would probably also be possible but they'd be way too expensive. Hover boards might be pushing it though, there is anti gravity but you need a pretty big power supply for that and don't think we'd have the technology to make it contained in something that size.
Imagine someone traveling from 85 and seeing stuff like today's smartphones and tablets. That's totally science fiction.
