Back to the Future Self-Lacing Shoes

Computer science innovations: "Computing enables innovation in nearly every field"
How to Get the 'Back to the Future' Self-Lacing Shoes
(a) These shoes had originally came out in back to the future when marty mcfly put them on. Once you put them on, they have the ability to tie themselves. "Power laces — all right!" In "Back to the Future Part II," teenage time traveler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) was understandably impressed by a pair of sneakers that conformed to his feet and laced themselves automatically.
(b) This innovation would affect everyone. I'd affect me because sometimes i get too lazy to even tie my shoes. This would also prevent being from tripping and falling. 
(c)The limited-edition release of the 2016 Nike Mag offers the self-lacing sneakers through an online lottery in collaboration with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Lottery entries can be purchased with a $10 donation to the foundation; 100 percent of all the proceeds will go toward research for a Parkinson's cure, according to a statement released by Nike.
(d) I think this innovation is actually pretty cool because since i was small i fell in love with them. I loved the shoes and the idea of them lacing themselves. They might be really expensive but the money goes towards a good cause.
