The power of love is a curious thing. The decades-old Back to the Future films are so beloved that Oct. 21, 2015, was declared Back to the Future Day” because that is the future date to which Marty McFly travels to save his children in the 1989 film Back to the Future Part II.

Most of the film’s predicted innovations have not come to pass—we don’t fly cars to work or wear self-lacing shoes, and lawyers, obviously, have not been abolished.

This week, in honor of Back to the Future Day we’d like to ask you: What do you wish had already been invented? Whether it’s an invention that would benefit you in your practice or another aspect of your life, tell us.
