Name a Technology You Wish We Had

They never tell you what you need to know.
Wow this board has certainly had a lot of activity the last few days...
So, what's a technology you wish was available today, no matter how unlikely it is to become a reality?
I'm gonna stay out of medical technology for this...
My number 1 would be self driving cars. My, that would be awesome, I would never fly again if I could reach my destination in 12 hours or less by car. I don't mind flying it's just such a hassle with all the crap at airports and worse yet, flight delays and constant cancellations I always face.
Have you ever seen the movie "Jumper"? Where these people can instantly go from one place to another anywhere in the world, taking people or objects with them? That would be great, just think after work instead of hitting the local crap bar on your drive home you could "jump" to Germany and hit a FFK club instead!

Definately teleportation.
Or a flying car. Yeah. That'd be cool too.
One of those ancient aliens shows suggested maybe some of those aliens were humans from the future. They could pop in and watch all the famous stuff. I thought of the same thing over a decade ago.
I'd also like the device to have like an instant internet for the whole galaxy and other nearby galaxies where I could quickly get updates on alien civilizations, what the sex was like, good places to visit, etc. etc. Human or human like alien civilizations, etc.
Another new technology, mind reading and communicating nanobots already implanted so that I can instantly access the internet without getting on a pc, plus much faster internet, able to download whole planet databases in a second or less.
Another tech, a device that lets me visit other dimensions and provides protection while there. If I hop into the astral plane or visit heaven or wherever, I don't want to get stuck there. I don't want to get into a fight with whatever creatures live there unless it's fun and I can blast them. I did have fun fighting some creatures but that was all in a dream.
Another device would create any alternate universe you desired. It would be like virtual reality so real, you don't need glasses. It might be bad for the people who lived there when you got tired of the simulation.
Another device to leave this simulation and pop into the larger reality that our entire universe that we know of is only a tiny speck or simulation running. Maybe a blue pill to take as well in case I want to pop back into this simulation.
Maybe one more device as well, let me transform into energy and back again to transport anywhere. This would not be needed if I had the teleporter.
I would also like anti gravity, personal energy shields, flying cars, and gravity dampeners with anti-collision programming.
No thanks. Think Brundlefly
Another device, an AI temporal communicator to aid in communicating with an AI that exists in the future.
In the near future, apple can make this, a heads up display so you can view smart phone data and pictures while still looking in front of you whether driving or walking. Maybe have it built into sunglasses or clipped on sunglasses or your ear but projected in front while still allowing a direct view or see through view.
I also would like to see either a fold out phone or roll out phone that fits in your pocket but can be rolled out or unfolded until it reaches tablet size if you want.
Plus have high speed data, unlimited text or 5 gig per month plus lots of voice minutes for only $40 per month total. I was thinking if Verizon can do 10 gig for $80, why not 5 gig for $40?
Oh and Star Gates like in the tv show Stargate SG1 but big enough to drive through it, who wants to walk everywhere? It looks like it would be a bit of a thrill ride. Just think of your entire body getting turned into energy and rushed through a winding worm hole twisting around the galaxy and then have your body perfectly reconstituted on the other end while perceiving images of the journey.
I mean, we have 3D movies.
I guess costs could be hindering deployment of holographic tv's as well.
Can you imagine watching hot holographic girls lying on your living room floor sunning themselves or playing beach volleyball? Maybe the tech isn't there yet. I knew a guy 20 years ago who told me he figured out how to do that but had one problem. He said the lasers would have to be so powerful that they could slice your head off. Supposedly spoken by a guy that co invented the first virtual reality helmet. Hiding out in the boondocks where I was at. While I saw an apache helicopter, he saw a spaceship supposedly over his head one afternoon. He even told me spacecraft were manufactured in space and had super conducting shells or frames. Apparently a computer hacker and joker as well.
What we need is the ideal contraceptive STD preventer.
1. Stops all STD's
2. 100% reliable in preventing pregnancy
3. 100% reversible.
4. A version of it for each gender.
5. No way to detect if it is being used. No way a partner or rapist can circumvent it.
6. Can have it employed for decades at a time and hence forget about it, until you want to reverse it.
7. No side effects.
If it weren't for the fact that our economic and political system is built on suppressing sex and propping up the birth rate via sustained gender war, we would have this already. If the developed nations together put in $1 Trillion US per year, it would not take long until we would have it.
