Inventions we wish for

Here is a list of the 15 most desired inventions. On top of my list is the teleporter. Although a fountain of youth may be on the top of an old mans list.

Also on the list is a household robot wish could be used to do mundane chores like cooking and cleaning. Perhaps with artificial intelligence one day this will come true. We are far away from the technology to create affordable home robots.

As for the jet pack and the flying cars these staples of science fiction might be around the corner but are still way too expensive for ordinary people.

On the horizon I see better language translation software and speech recognition. I believe that by the 2030's we will have cars that drive themselves if we avoid big wars.

Also on the list was a time machine. Inventor Steven Gibbs claims to have created the world first commercial time machine. He says it uses electromagnets to attain its purpose.

Perhaps things in the future will look quite strange to us. New technology will destroy many old jobs like automobile mechanic when we have teleporters, or translators when software does it for us, but no doubt new jobs will be created.
