    Destruction of the grim reaper gene.
    Brain scanner for the replication of data stored in your cranium.

    I want someone to create awesomesauce. Seriously.

    USB ports that connect to your brain so you can download your memories and imagination onto your computer for later use.

    A daily supersizing machine. I like giant pools of cheese.

    Brain-to-internet surfing of the web. screw keyboards.
    ^
    Superfirewalls. you think biological viruses are bad? if this happened, there would be digital viruses downloaded straight to your brain! :cheese:

    Schooling and work at a later time. notrly scientific, but the reasons for it would be. i mean, humans need their sleep [now]

    forced micro-napping pills. 'nuff said.

    veggies-for-a-year. only taken once.

    zupervision enhancement. something that helps enhance the ability of your body's lenses past 20/20.

    simulations at birth for latter life.

    'forced elimination of phobias'

    people no longer have to poo in the same way.

    teleportation through tube-like structure [futurama or beyond good and evil].

    Global language.

    No more insulin, genetic, or biological catastrophes. Sooo much to ask right there.

    Vaccination for all the freakin' flus that have ever, and will ever exist.
    Including food poisoning.

    TIME MACHINE x100000000000
    I would love to travel in time so badly, even though I know it's pretty much impossible right now.

    Cure for cancer
    Cure for the common cold
    Hovercrafts
    Teleportation

    I'd also like to see our space program become more advanced so we can travel further in space faster and explore the rest of the universe. I'd like to know there's life on other planets in my lifetime, for sure.

    I'd love the time machine idea.
    We'd be able to warn people in the past about catastrophes, send them cures etc.
    Let's hope one's invented soon, as you can only travel back to the time thetime machine was switched on.

    That would be a paradoxical mess.

    A better understanding of currently unknown/foreign illness and disease.

    I watched a television show the other day that featured a 13-year-old boy who suffered constant abdominal pains. There were points where he couldn't eat; his body would reject the food. He weighed a total of 87 lbs, or something equally ridiculous. The young boy had been to over 20 different specilialists and nobody had the answers.

    With the introduction and advancement of genetically engineered foods, more polluntants, new vaccines, new antibiotics - all of which humans were not exposed to in the past - I think there should be more long-term experimentation and research conducted towards finding causes of "mystery" diseases and disorders.

    Also, I think it would be cool if we could figure out living systems.

    Just basic things.

    The demise of propreitary software and the rise of open source... finally.

    That or a version of windows that doesn't suck.

    I know, I know, what I'm asking for couldn't possibly come true, but one can dream. xD

    In all seriousness though... a cure for all diseases and possibly a way of actually attaining world peace? perhaps?
