It's been a long year, but maybe not this long.

On Wednesday, the Herald Sun, a newspaper from Victoria in Australia accidentally, we hope, printed the date on their front page as 2105 as opposed to 2015.

Hopefully it's a future where our dreams of police forces riding hoverboards and politicians taking a DeLorean to work will be realised. Ahh, sounds like bliss.

Reaction on Twitter was a mix of humour, bewilderment, and surprise that Oprah still looks great. We are just hoping we'll get a free hoverboard if we turn up to her show in 2105.

Forward thinking @theheraldsun confirms Oprah will still be with us in 90 years. #mediawatch pic.twitter.com/286Zu98Teq— Media Watch (@ABCmediawatch) December 2, 2015

Personally we can't wait for 2106. 2105 was a bit of a drag.
