What future innovation are you sad you'll never live to see?

Star Trek style replicators.

3D printing is getting us there.

NASA has awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Systems and Materials Research Consultancy of Austin, Texas to study the feasibility of using additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing, for making food in space.

I’m sad I probably won’t live to see chemical encoding of memories in the human brain, and by extension the ability to upload and download memories to other people.

Can you imagine being able to share a memory? Or download someone elses memory?

I think it would be a game changer!

(Yes I realize this is pie in the sky scifi nonsense no where near reality, sue me!)

Think of how this would revolutionize the judicial system.

“Did you kill that man”

“No”

“Let’s go to the tape!”

What might be possible sooner is an accurate lie detector. I think there has been some research done using functional MRI in this regard.

Think of the big Supreme Court fight over it.
