'Tis the season for year-end lists as we wrap up 2015 and look ahead to 2016.

In a world where the answers to nearly all of our questions are just a few taps away on our smartphones, what exactly were South Dakotans searching Google for in the past 12 months?

According to the website Estately.com, this trio topped the list for the Rushmore State:

  • Back to the Future - the 1985 movie generated a lot of renewed interest in 2015, not just because of its 30th anniversary, but because its sequel, Back to the Future II, used October 21, 2015 as a date for time travel.
  • Ed Sheeran - the GRAMMY-nominated British singer/songwriter generated a lot of buzz in the South Dakota when he made a June 10 stop at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center.
  • Fitbit - the fitness device that measures how many steps you take. No specific South Dakota tie-in here, a lot of people nationwide were feeling Fitbit fever in 2015.

Happy searching in 2016!
