The next invention.

Some sort of magnificent total immersion virtual reality universe.

Where I can have sex with things.

I would like someone to invent some kind of transporter like from the film The Fly. I hate travelling when hungover so that would take out the headaches.

An invention meaning that you can have sex with "Things"??

[Gelbfüßler]

Hopefully some sort of medical thing. 'Cures' for uncurable diseases or a way to reverse paralysis.

Don't tell me you've never seen those cows looking at you like that before and been tempted?

There's loads of stuff that needs to be invented. Wireless power should be coming soon so phones etc. charge automatically and you don't need any power wires, that'll be quite useful.

There must be a lot more that could be done about food preservation, having to freeze and defrost things just seems very basic. Surely it is possible to invent some kind of vacuum freezer where you just put stuff in and take it out whenever you want and it's preserved perfectly without any need to defrost it.

Not forgetting my idea for inflatable Christmas, that was a pretty good invention - should be coming soon. http://www.thetownend.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=115&highlight=inflatable+christmas

This reminds me of the story about the Americans spending a million dollars in the sixties,during the cold war on a biro that there space folk could use in space for writing down info,when the cold war finished and relations between USA and Russia got better they asked the Russians for some advice,where as the Russians replied weve never had that problem cos we use pencils!

Perpetual motion/energy? Cold Fusion? Major cures thanks to Stem Cell research?

I feel the last is the only perceivable possibility as things stand, although haven't people recently come quite close to cold fusion?

 I seem to recall...an uindividual or team claiming to have achieved this, but then it ws exposed as a hoax, or similar'

agree with you.
cures for a whole multitude of illnesses and conditions would be welcomed by so many people worldwide.

Perpetual motion/energy breaks known laws of physics, sort of by it's definition. You still seem to get some crackpot who's decided he's invented a crazy never stopping wheel every now and again. They normally involve magnets.

Cold Fusion is possible. I'd have thought as an oil crisis looms closer and closer over the next several decades more and more research will be done into such things.

Stem Cell research could easily be halted by crazy religious types. Crazy might be a bit harsh, especially as their seems to be so much misinformation out there. The problem is it's easier to protest against something than protest in favour of something. I suppose you could protest against the protesters, but then we might start some mad civil war.

I would like a fry up that doesn't make you fat.

And a girlfriend.

Not sure either is possible.
