一起《回到未來》
'Back to the Future' Day: Time is in flux, and the 'Future' is today By Todd Leopold, CNN
(CNN)—"Back to the Future" Day has finally arrived.
In "Back to the Future Part II," Marty McFly travels to October 21, 2015, to save his children, yet to be born in "Back to the Future's" 1985.
What did 'Back to the Future II' get right?
The plot gets tangled -- by fixing one thing, McFly and Doc Brown (and the villainous Biff Tannen) create a number of new messes -- but what remains is the film's vision of a year that was still more than a quarter-century away when the movie was shot and released in 1989. The entire trilogy is even being rereleased Wednesday, so you can see for yourself.
The film's record isn't bad, given that director Robert Zemeckis wasn't pleased with setting part of "Back to the Future II" in 2015.
"I always hated -- and I still don't like -- movies about the future," he says in a new book, "Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History." "I just think they're impossible, and somebody's always keeping score."
If you were given one opportunity to time travel, would you go back and change something in your past or would you go and explore your future? Why?
1. If I had one oppurtunity to either go back in time or go into the future I would go back in time. It is funny how man cqn follow his downfall to one past indiscretion. I would merely fix my one mistake and move on from there.
2. If I go back in time, not only would i be correcting my mistake, but also the lesson learnt through it.
If I go into the future and learn about it, I would become someone who would not dare to dream anything bigger than what I had seen.
Q:
What do you think that "Back to the Future" Day has finally arrived”?
In your opinion, Could it be possible that "Back to the Future”? (or Back to the past)
What are your opinion that there were some new invention in the film?
If you were given one opportunity to time travel, would you go back and change something in your past or would you go and explore your future? Why?
Do you regret that the mistakes you made in the past?
Do you like sci fi movies? Why?

為他人花錢 增加幸福感?
Why prosocial spending promotes happiness? positivepsychologyprogram
Why is it that spending our money on others—prosocial spending—makes us happier?
It’s partly because giving to others makes us feel good about ourselves, just like showing our gratefulness does, as explained in the effects of gratitude. It helps promote a view of ourselves as responsible and giving people, which in turn makes us feel happy. It’s also partly because spending money on others helps cement our social relationships. And people with stronger social ties are generally happier.
So if prosocial spending makes us feel good, how come we tend to think personal spending will make us happier? It’s because of the insidious effect money has on the mind. Studies have shown that the simplest reminder of money has all kinds of negative effects (from Vohs et al., 2006). It makes us:
Less likely to help others.
Less likely to donate to charity.
Less likely to spend time with others.
Three times more likely to want to work alone, despite knowing we’re taking on more work.
These are all precisely the behaviours that are likely to make us happy, yet just being reminded of money makes us less likely to engage in them. It’s not that money is always evil; under the right circumstances it can motivate us and modern societies would be difficult without it. But money clearly has some negative psychological effects. Generosity can be a very effective antidote.
Research suggests that many people think that spending money on themselves will make them happier than spending it on other people.
Q:
Why is it that spending our money on others makes us happier?
Do you feel good when giving to others or treating others?
What are the ways to help improve your social relationships?
What are the ways to help improve friendships?
Sharing experiences that spending money on others?
How to expand your social network?
How to make others happy?
2015年10月21日到了！一起《回到未來》看看哪些預言成真！
撰文者：蘇宇庭 發表日期：2015/10/21
今天是2015年10月21日，對許多《回到未來2》的影迷來說是個大日子。這一天，就是故事主角馬蒂(Marty)與布朗博士「回到未來」的那一天，而他們在這一天親眼見證了許多新奇的未來科技，也讓螢幕前的觀眾對未來產生無限遐想。當時許多影迷遙望的那個未來，已經在這天來臨。
芝加哥小熊隊奪得年度冠軍、布滿飛行汽車的天空、全自動化的餐廳、懸浮離地的漂浮滑板……這些場景，全都出現在《回到未來2》中的2015年，而我們正活在《回到未來》中的那個未來。究竟電影中的哪些預言在2015年已經成真？哪些預言又值得我們繼續期待？
影片說明：《回到未來2》兩位主角應Toyota之邀拍攝一段談論回到未來的影片。電影當時預測2015年還在使用傳真（Marty被炒就是接到傳真通知），結果沒想到Doc本人真的還在使用傳真。
1. 小熊隊奪冠
芝加哥小熊隊能否在2015年奪下大聯盟年度冠軍，破除100多年來未奪冠軍的魔咒，實現《回到未來2》的預言，絕對是2015下半年最熱門的話題之一。不只棒球迷，幾乎所有看過這部電影的影迷都在關注這項預言究竟會不會成真？芝加哥小熊隊也夠爭氣，在國聯季後賽中，順利擊敗強敵紅雀隊，晉級國聯冠軍戰，這場系列戰也刷新了大聯盟轉播收視率排行榜，締造近9年來最高收視。
2. NIKE懶人智慧鞋
男主角馬蒂第一次到2015年，就被要求要換上2015年的人該穿的衣物，而其中一個配件，就是這雙NIKE鞋子。只要把腳一放進鞋子裡，這雙NIKE智慧鞋就會自動把鞋帶收緊，NIKE標誌還會自動發光，因此許多NIKE的粉絲也一直期盼NIKE能實現電影裡的預言。NIKE也不負眾望，預計在2015年底推出外型、功能都酷似電影裡那雙鞋子，並命名為NIKE Air MAG。
3. 飛行汽車
第一次到2015年，男主角望著街道以及天空上滿布的飛行汽車，驚嘆地說「這就是未來！」可惜的是，這項預言目前還未成真，會飛行的汽車仍未真正「合法上天」，更遑論普及到人類生活中。不過，許多廠商正努力想辦法讓這個夢想成為現實，例如美國航太公司Terrafugia就已經推出飛天車的概念原型TF-X。
4. 聲控電視
女主角珍妮佛躲在門後觀察2015年時他們一家人的生活，看到自己未來的兒子小馬蒂，站在電視機前用口語下指令，電視就會自動幫他轉到想看的頻道，更神奇的是，他還能同步觀看2個以上的頻道！其實，這不就是現在各大電視廠商力推的聲控電視嗎？在今年Apple新品發表會上，Apple也推出擁有Siri語音助理功能的Apple TV，而且，如今消費者在Apple TV上也可以同步觀看2個頻道了。
5. 視訊通話
透過螢幕視訊通話，這對現代人來說完全不陌生。包括Skype、FaceTime、Google Hanghouts等工具，或者LINE、Facebook Messenger等通訊軟體也早已開始提供語音及視訊通話功能。
6. 智慧煮食器
只要將一塊小於手掌的Pizza放進這個機器，用語音下達指令，不出三秒鐘，拿出來的就會是個正常大小且冒著熱煙的美味Pizza！這個預言雖然還未完全實現，不過市面上也已經出現各種讓食物製成更方便的工具，例如可以「列印」食物的Foodini 3D食物列印機。
7. 智慧眼鏡
雖然電影裡面並沒有具體表現出這款智慧眼鏡能實現什麼功能，僅顯示出當時的人可以利用這個裝置檢視誰正撥打電話給你，不過，仔細一看，小馬蒂戴的智慧眼鏡，簡直與現在科技大廠力推的智慧眼鏡原型如出一轍。
8. 指紋辨識
珍妮佛無意間被警察送回2015年時自己的家，當時的門都要用指紋辨識才能開啟，而珍妮佛想要自己走出這個家時，還為了找不到「門把」而苦惱了一番。如今，指紋辨識系統已隨處可見，不只門把，就連手機也都能用指紋辨識解鎖了。
9. 漂浮滑板
搭乘漂浮滑板馳騁在街道上，不只是電影裡最為人所津津樂道的經典場面，更是許多影迷希望能一舉成真的產品！新創團隊Hendo就預計在2015年10月21日，也就是主角們回到未來的那一天，推出可以漂浮在地面上的Hendo Hoverboard，它可離地大約1呎，負重約500磅。不過，由於它是運用類似磁浮列車的原理，因此必須在特殊的金屬表面上使用，不像電影裡面可以自由控制方向，不過還是令許多影迷非常期待。
10. 3D投影
馬蒂第一次走在2015年的街道上，立刻就被這個3D投影的大白鯊預告片嚇到放聲尖叫，幸好旋即就發現這一切都只是幻影。當時看起來不可能的3D投影技術，現在早就被影音娛樂產業廣泛運用，像是周杰倫在演唱會上鄧麗君隔空對唱就是一個經典案例。
即便預言無法成真，許多公司也都搶在今時今日向電影裡的場景「致敬」。例如電影裡曾出現第19集《大白鯊》預告片，雖然電影公司並未有計劃籌拍，但仍然製作了一小段預告片滿足影迷的期待。NIKE會積極開發NIKE Air MAG，也算是受了電影的「刺激」，讓他們不得不加快腳步搶在今年發表。只能說，《回到未來2》這部經典電影，確實有它的魅力與時代意義。
