I'd also love a cure for insomnia. Not pills that sort of knock you out for a while and leave you groggy the next day, but something that just sends you into deep, natural, restful sleep all night.

If they could grow new lenses in the eyes and repair damaged hearing cells, that would be great too.

some deep-pocketed entity with a nerdy side of them, should develop a working and marketable digital loudspeaker for the masses.

a compact microwave oven that also can sear/roast. a battery-powered portable camp-able microwave oven.

Cures for tinnitus, insomnia, anxiety.

A cure for cancer.

Lights that don't kill our eyes.

A way to turn invisible, to combat agoraphobia.

an instant windstorm buster.

I have seen combination ovens, and you can run anything from a battery pack of the right size, or a generator. However, that pretty much ruins the camping experience.

mebbe i shoulda said "Glamp-able" instead

A device that allows us to share memories, thoughts, feelings, and experiences from one mind to another. Sometimes words are just not enough.

^^^i'd be first in line when they start selling those.

We need to integrate light railroads (streetcar tracks) with expressways and self-driving cars, and make all the rolling stock radically lighter. Details available.

a subcompact car which is as quiet and smooth-riding as a large cadillac.

I'm with you on the food pill.

Eating is an enormous stress filled pain in the arse. All those textures (a number of which make me feel ill), all that cooking paraphernalia, the general expectation they everyone absolutely must join in with the whole social aspect of eating etc. Is a never ending process, you eat something with all the hassle that comes with his and in no time at all you have to repeat the whole process again. Forever.

As an aside, in the 60's we were all under the impression (mainly fuelled by TV content) that by the turn of the century we would all be wearing silver jump suits, living in bubble shaped houses on stilts and travelling in flying cars. Well that didnt happen. I particularly likes the clothing aspect of this - not because I am particularly attracted to silver jump suits but by the notion of standardised universal and uniform clothing that obviated the need to make decisions about buying clothing and deciding what to wear every day.

food replicators!

A simple and fool-proof truth determining machine, for crime.

Round up the suspects especially those who hurt children, and get the full truth of all the information.

I think that's better than a lie detector. It doesn't help to know if someone is lying. It helps to know the full truth.

some kind of high-tech alternative to prisons.
