Is there an invention from comic books, science fiction, books or films, that you have either really been looking forward to or really dreading?

We have so many great gadgets and inventions available to us as it is but science fiction and comic books for the last 50 to a 100 years have been filled with such amazing and fanciful stuff that has yet to come to fruition. One think I’m not sure I’d like are Star Trek’s “sonic showers.” I don’t really like that idea. I love hot showers; I love the water falling on me.

I look forward to your answers.

Well, no, I don’t. Sorry. There was just no option on Fluther for me to simply jump up and down, to simply post a declarative sentence stating: The jetpacks are here! The jet packs are here!! Finally!!!!!

Not that I could afford one, but maybe in my life time the cost will come down enough that maybe I can a least rent one someday.

And, yes, I really am interested in everyone’s answers, really I am, but the jetpacks are finally here!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!
