Had the idea for this thread while sitting in the theatre watching a very good production of Romeo and Juliet.

Loads of people took in sweets (candy) and spent all evening making loud rustling noises opening cellophane packets and unwrapping the sweets.

So

1. i'd like scientists to invent silent cellophane - then everyone can enjoy their sweets AND it doesn't disturb other people.

2. a huge big server capable of dealing with all NS stuff so WE COULD HAVE OUR WORD GAMES BACK!!!! :D

It's not a lot to ask...is it? :wink:

I just heard they invented A material that never needs to be washed. The invisiblity cloak has been invented, and Flying cars will be inented when they can make a good cheap superconductor.

Hmm... I think I ought to list my top ten...

1) A powdered adhesive that when dusted onto clothing will bond it to human skin on contact.

2) Prank swimsuits that dissolve in water.

3) Teleporters.

4) Groin-seeking projectiles.

5) A battery-powered heated jockstrap.

6) Personal spacecraft.

7) Cranially implanted personal computers with wireless internet.

8 ) Television with smell.

9) Sneakers that make a 'boing' sound with each step like in that Nike commercial.

10) A tiny packet of powder that will turn a swimming pool full of water into tapioca pudding.

:D

A cure for stupidity. We all need it.

a cure for diabetes

Screw your busted Pancreas. We need Femmebots!

Screw your busted Pancreas. We need Femmebots!

hm... i dont find that funny as my mom has diabetes :?

Well so does my dad.

The Obliterator Virus... Those who read "Storm of Iron" or are very familiar with the Chaos Space Marines will know what I mean.

Well so does my dad.

was he born with it?

Does it make femmebots?

Well so does my dad.

was he born with it?

No he achieved it through sloth and sloppy parenting.

I got back at him...

Does it make femmebots?

Was that directed toward me?

Does it make femmebots?

Was that directed toward me?

Do you believe it was directed towards you?

A way to give me complete and utter unconditional omnipotence. :P

Whats that? You want to be impotent?

Things i wish were invented

1. Room tempreture superconductors

2. Free energy device :roll:

3. Wearable computer that's nonintrusive, easy to use, and matches ability with a laptop

A way to give me complete and utter unconditional omnipotence. :P

Thought you had that being a nation leader...ain't that enough :wink:

Does it make femmebots?

Was that directed toward me?

Do you believe it was directed towards you?

As I do not see any other posts that it could be directed toward at the time I'd have to say yes. Unless you were pre-emptively posting for some odd reason.

Ahem!

Back to the topic...

I'd also like to be able to have non-deletable-by-mods-spam :D

The good spam...not the cr*p spam.

a computer that never gets outdated

Flying cars... it's 2004, the new millenium, we were promised flying cars! Where are the flying cars?!

An enviromentally friendly car that isn't small under-powered and boring.

a machine that translates what women are REALLY saying.

a virus(biological) that kills all evil hackers on site.... because someone hacked my favorite forum(www.golemlabs.com/forums) and now im pissed. Evil hackers must die in anguish thinking it is a mere cold. :twisted:

those b@st@rds.

Scientists or engineers? There IS a bit of difference, ya' know. At any rate, within technological bounds that will allow me to see a particular invention within my lifetime, I would like to see efficient fusion plants developed, as well as cheap Earth-orbit launch systems and cheap trans-Solar transportation.

I just heard they invented A material that never needs to be washed. The invisiblity cloak has been invented, and Flying cars will be inented when they can make a good cheap superconductor.

1) Whe says any-thing needs washing ? :wink:

2) Actually a flying car has already been built, it can fly a couple ...

( 10 m - 14 m ? )

Up in the air, and has close to thirty computer " brains " in it in case one or several fail, its kept up by several directional fans and it is painted red. It looks uber-aero-dynamic, like a flat jet figter with no real wings, from memory, the reason its not being mass produced is cause its very expensive and the idea of as many flying cars as there are normal cars usually makes most people cringe at the thought of accidents ...

It was in a documentary I saw on ABC T.V. a few months back, I'll do a web search for a picture for you all.

EDIT : Here it is.

Oh, yeah : I want instant miracle weight-loss pill, :)

In that case i want an attachment for my nose which counteracts B.O. :D

I know they have glass for windows now that cleans itself when its wet and sun hits it, forgot the chemical used on it, its in the latest Popular Science I believe.

I want a Fenton Silencer! It was an Arthur C. Clarke short story...it was basically a small device that could silence all noise in an area...sure, at the end it blew up, but ignore that bit.

I would also like a device which let me see what a woman was thinking...

Hey hon...even *we* don't know what we're thinking at times...so how a device could work it out i'm not sure. Could be useful though :wink: :D

The moller Sky car is lame. Its been around since I was A kid and still nothings come of it. I think the dude is actually waiting for one to be commisioned so he can develop the technology. But the point is its just a jet, its not a flying car.

I think all this would need is a very fast processor and some sensors, which detect incoming frequencies then play back the same frequency with a phase shift, so then you would hear nothing. Noice cancelling.

Yes, in the story that was how it worked; with destructive interference. However, it seemed to work for EVERYONE in the vicinity, not just the wearer. That's what I want, you see.

Of course, I might just not know enough physics...

[Edit: Apologies for any double-posting; damn server!]

Right now, I'm feeling rather selfish, but with good cause.
I'd like a scientist to create something to prevent ALL malware. I'm about to wipe my computer's hard drive, for the second time in the past year.
I'm livid.
I hate those stupid little viruses that you can't get rid of.

GAHHH

This would make it more difficult, in that if you had an object in the middle of the room, it would need to be able to detect the frequencys and intensitys from different directions, and then have many speakers to produce the shifted sound in the same direction, as different shaped rooms produce different sounds depending on location

Pain-free dentistry tools with NO needles.

A device to send an enormous surge of electricity through a phone line that's specifically targetted at the moron you're dealing with on the other end.

Ice cream.... oh wait!

*licks ice cream*

Pain-free dentistry tools with NO needles.

It kind of exists...its called Relative Analgesic (RA for short) and is basically laughing gas. I've had it, and its wonderful. While you still need a needle to get teeth removed, you're so out of it you really, honestly don't feel it.

a Jet pack that we could all buy, or freakin robots, where the hell are our robots we where promised ?? we must be more lazy and let computers take over our lives!

also...like a lasor tooth brush that brushed your teeth for you...sure its slightly dangerous if you move but there would be safety precautions...

a computer that never gets outdated

A Mac is pretty close...I've seen ones that are 15 years old which still work pretty well.

Teleportation. If we can invent the internet, we should be able to invent a better way to travel. Something fast and cost-efficient. I WANT MY TELEPORTATION MACHINE!!!! dammit.

I want them to invent cheap knock-offs of Mary Poppins.. I need good child care for my kids..lol :P

a machine that translates what women are REALLY saying.

*waggles her head*

whatever

OK, here's my wishlist:

> Infallible hangover cure in a pill (one simple pill, all traces of alcohol and hangover gone, instantly!)

> 8 hours sleep in a pill - a pill you can take, and suddenly your'e as refreshed as if you's just had a full night's sleep.

> Totally realistic "sex-bot"... 'nuff said.

> Brain implant that allows you to access the internet 24/7.

Look, what we need is every piece of technology on Star Trek. Faster-than-light propulsion, replicators that create things out of nothing but energy, holo-decks (takes too long to explain).

teleportation...so i could go see my friends without having to spend hours travelling to get there and back

invisibility :twisted:

A robot girlfriend :shock:

I already have one. Her name is Sony. She can also play videos.

I would invent a never-ending energy source for my laptop battery... that way I never have to use an AC adapter, and it never has to be recharged!

1. A profitable, viable alternative to current energy sources, that can be cheaply produced.
2. A pill (or a treatment) that'd make sleep obsolete. Too often did I not get enough sleep, and I'm groggy all day. When I do sleep, it can be until 11:00 a.m.

A process which would render the statement "the only thing more common than hydrogen is stupidity" untrue.

They've already invented beer-flavoured chips - I think we've reached the apex of our inventive abilities.

AN O-beam.

A pistol that shoots a laser-like energy beam that when it strikes a person, it causes them to orgasm.

Make it a team sport.. Guys against the girls...

Some way to make money that wasn't immoral, illegal, or fattening! :D

One word: Gundams!

C'mon, they already supposed to be the most realistic mechs ever animated, why not make the transition to real-life?

I want my RX-78-2! Or how about ZGMF-X10A Freedom?

Some way to make money that wasn't immoral, illegal, or fattening! :D


good old fashioned work?

This would also end war in one brilliant stroke. The O-beam is the ultimate non-lethal weapon.

Since the 1950s (at least) Popular Mechanics has been teasing us with promises of flying cars. When do we get our flying cars?

I'd like scientists to come up with a cure for every disease known or soon to be known to man.
But even if it was possible, I'd doubt the government would allow it. :rolleyes:
Support Stem Cell Research!

A roll of never ending duct tape.

Tele-Bloody-portation

and warp drive

and phasers

and replicators

also
Zero point energy
nanotechnology

and specificly to sony...
a mini-disc that can accept actual data other then ATRAC-3, and an MD drive for my computer

I vote for the O-beam followed by the Spray on sense of Humour ;)

what i'd like scientist to invent is a cure for the common cold - my dose is streaming ridt now. It's nod a preddy site :(

Zero-Point Modules. Basically, tiny batteries with stupid amounts of energy.
Jetpacks/Flying Cars/Teleportation
Gravity Gun (Zero-Point Field Manipulator)
An AI that makes democracy obsolete

This is kinda cheesy but I'd go with good old-fashioned 'cure for cancer', to be honest...I'm really scared of getting cancer. A cure for all diseases would be great; I guess cancer seems particularly frightening since it's so often fatal (well..depending which kind you get, and how early it's detected) and to a large extent it's not even like a healthy lifestyle will stop it for sure.

Not that I have a particularly healthy lifestyle anyway - I don't smoke or drink but I eat way too much salt and sugar and rarely exercise - but even so! :p

Also an inexpensive molecular transport system, like 'beaming' - then I could visit my family all the time instead of only once a year.

A lightbulb built for two..

if nobody's already said this... some kind of learning device like they have in the Matrix - I'd love to be able to instantly learn new stuff like Kung Fu.
a lifetime of schooling could be over in a matter of weeks!

A Wish-Granting Muffin. Finally, something tasty that grants wishes!

Muffin!

In Japan they have CDs that are half the size of the ones in the USA, and are set in little cases the way that floppy discs are, so that they never get scratched. Why the Hell can't we have that here???

Time Travel
The future's so bright, I gotta wear :cool:

A pill that instantly cures hangovers.

Or one that instantly cures colds.

But I'd prefer they work on the former one first.

Affordable space travel

I'm sorry if I repeat anything thats been said already (I can't read all of the pages...too tired and almost time to leave work), but here is my wishes.

1. This is probably in the near future, but I want internet, for free, wherever I am. I want wireless cards built into all laptops, and I want to be able to pick up the internet (FREE) no matter where I am. I am sure this will happen one of these days. Sorry if this makes me look stupid. I just want it to happen, lol.

2. I want flying cars too.

3. Cures for cancer, diabetes, etc.

4. An alcoholic beverage that will get you messed up, but won't give you a hangover. there surely must be a way.

uh....yeah....i'm tired and thats all i can think up at the moment.

Snacks that are good for you..

I can't believe it - this month's Popular Science has a cover story about flying cars. Those folks have been promising flying cars for 50 years.

When will we get our flying cars?
