I agree, Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies. the sequels were rather lame.

You made a large assumption by drawing a line chart, though your graph fits right in at Graph Jam. All we know is the need for roads in 1985 and 2015, so you should use a column chart with columns only at these years.

Sorry, sorry, SORRY to geek out on a detail… but I’m pretty sure that “Where we’re going” is actually 2010, not 2015. I think he was travelling 25 years into the future, not 30. Which also means we should all keep out eyes out for the Doc. He should be here this summer.
