Things you hope they invent before it's too late...

Guess I’ll be the shallow one.

How about virtual sex that approximates reality?

Punch in your favorite celebrity or secret crush and handle your business. I’m a little scared of the prospect, though. I suspect civilization might quickly crumble.

A gene that can be inserted into humans that re-programs teeth to act more like bones, and repair themselves when broken/chipped.

A cure for snow.

Cheap, comfortable Mass transit system every where so cars are no longer a “necessary evil” for those of us who only drive because we have to since everything is so spread out.

There already is a cure for stupidity. Now we need a way to make the stupid people to take the cure.

We need a clean, renewable and effecient but cheap energy source.

We need warp engines. Soon! and photon torpedoes and phasers and Seven of Nine!!

we desperately need a cure for bigotry (which is a form of stupidity)

we need faster internet connections that are cheap or free.

and we definitely need to invent a way to make me rich!
:smiley:

I just hope we hit the omega point so I can transcend my human body and get installed in a kicky purple armature so I can survive in any environment and have death as a choice rather than having it thrust upon me by nature.

Isn’t this redundant? :smiley:

Bodily correctional devices (like braces which I’m getting soon) that operate instantly and painlessly.

A happy pill.

A perfection pill (weight loss, strength, endurance, agility, etc…)

A way to learn everything there is to know, only for me :smiley:

My first thought upon reading this was, “EWWW! TMI!”

My second thought was, “I hope it’s his head you’re talking about.”

I take this as proof that the SDMB has corrupted my innocent young mind.

A universal translator, a la the Babel Fish, that works flawlessly and is discreet.

A cure to Parkinson’s Disease.

A reliable Mass Transit system that is clean and green. (Like a Mag-Lev train, powered by CO2)

A cure for television…

A bus? :slight_smile:

“Dumb” AI robotic servants. Something just smart enough to clean up, fetch things and perform other simple tasks without supervision.

A cure for message boards.
I could really do with one right now.

A product that will actually take that scummy stuff off of my shower doors.

And I’d just like to say that was a lot of fs in one sentence.

I want a pill that will make me buff if I work out every day.

I do, and it’s so frustrating that I don’t get much (ok, any :rolleyes: ) muscle bulk from it.

I’d also like a pill you could give to someone to make them feel the same way about you as you do about them sigh

A diet pill that actually works!! :slight_smile:

I’m soooo excited that this has already been invented:

The magic weight loss pill!

Where’s my jetpack!?!

Call me a dork, but I’ll take any of the Star Trek inventions. Holodeck… transporter… replicator… Counseler Troi…
