One of the fantastic things about movies is their ability to create incredible inventions that can literally change the world. An internet survey recently asked, “What is something that you wish existed in the real world?” Here are the top 14 answers.
Teleportation
“Star Trek style “beaming” disassembles and reassembles you at a molecular level. Do you know what happens when you’re disassembled at a molecular level? You die. Beaming is not teleporting you. It’s killing the original you and making an exact copy of you at the destination.”
“I’ve seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory enough times to know we need a better method.”
Device That Can Translate Dog Barking to English
“With Neuralink tech, this might actually exist soon.”
“I definitely don’t want to hear what my dog is saying. It’d just be nothing but asking for food or attention.”
Visiting People After They Die
“This would make a great idea for a novel.”
“This might happen subconsciously – in the astral, as they say.”
Food Replicator Like in Star Trek
“You could have them just outside so the homeless can get a good meal as easily as someone who owns their own.”
“Someone would just end up owning it and charging money for it. Who knows? Maybe food factories are just food replicators.”
Body Rejuvenation Pods That Heal Everything
“Bacta Tank from Star Wars or Healing Tank from Starship Troopers, please. The Sarcophagus from StarGate makes you go crazy if you use them too often.”
The Neuralizer From Men in Black
“Isn’t this just alcohol? Oh, you mean so OTHER people forget things.”
“They do have that. Just realize every time a person in sunglasses randomly stares at you, they just used one. Day, hour, minute. Also explains why you walk into an area and suddenly forget why you were there.”
Superheroes
“Some superheroes were running around in Seattle a few years ago. One of them was a professional MMA fighter. Phoenix Jones or something like that.”
“The police don’t like competition, so I don’t see it happening. But we could use some superheroes in my city (San Francisco).”
Cheat Codes
“There is a cheat code. It’s called “being born into a rich family.”
“Life would get pretty boring with cheat codes, I think.”
Magic
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” – Arthur C. Clarke.”
“Sometimes it’s tough to realize how ridiculously magical something as common as today’s smartphone would appear to people even as recently as 30 years ago. Even without the internet.”
Lightsabers
“I’m not sure what I’d use them for, but they’d be cool.”
“I had a lightsaber growing up! It was plastic and made in Taiwan, so not the same as the movie, but good enough for 6-year-old me.”
Neural Implants
“Neuroscience has progressed quite a bit since my spinal cord injury, but I know an implant to bridge the gap where my spinal cord is damaged, so I can have complete control over my lower body again, likely won’t happen in my lifetime.”
Pause Button
“Anything that can give me more time would be extremely cool.”
“I feel a pause button would be the worst of all the buttons. I’d rather have a rewind button or a fast forward button for road trips and work.”
Scooby-Doo Style Sandwiches
“I want them to be cartoonish in color. I don’t care about the size because I can make that myself. I want the look.”
“That’s what half the sandwiches in the US look like.”
Pokémon
“Yes! Pokémon Go is not the same. I want real Pokémon, and running around collecting them would be fun. It’d actually get me to go outside.”
“I’ve wanted real-life Pokémon since I was a little kid.”
