A car radio that will change to a different station if an artist on my 'no thanks' list comes on (Ariana Grande at the moment, tolerable in small doses but there is so much of her all the time).

Charging built into the walls/floors of buildings, so that if you are in the office or home your phone is charging without needing to be plugged in.

Wireless charging everywhere
Wireless everything
Eyeball / fingerprint scanning log in to everything so I never have to remember another password
A teleportation device
Some sort of fat melting / toning device so I could eat all the food and do no exercise
Properly immersive VR so you could experience any part of history, any event
Intergalactic space flights

A lot of this is on its way I think although I may be getting carried away

I always wanted a pill you could take so you could expel your period in a onner like a poo. Sounds gross but the 5 reality is gross too. Need more woman scientists for that I’m guessing though.

Any thing that plays music but mainly cars that automatically reduces the volume when you slow down or stop.

You can tell the weather is warmer as people have the car windows open, and you have to put up with their shit taste in music.

Something that changed duvet covers for me!

Some cars do actually already come equipped with this function!

A device/box that you can download dvds on to so you don't have to constantly load/change dvds if you want to change from Friends to Greys anatomy

Isn't that essentially Netflix Dobby?

Eating all the food and doing no exercise without consequences sounds like heaven to me BringBackDoves. I've also long wanted a Star Trek style holodeck thing for immersive VR, as you say, for historical purposes and absolutely not for frolicking with handsome men who are way out of my league.

This doesn't really need to be invented, just designed. Think of a microwave. All the bits that generate the microwaves are usually stuck on the side, right? And that increases its width by about 10cm, maybe more.

I want a microwave with all that stuck behind it in a triangular shape, so you can shove it into a corner and (a) lose the dead space currently behind the microwave in the corner, which as far as I can tell exists only to collect random important items that you put on top of the microwave for safe-keeping, and (b) take up much less width, so you can shove it further into the corner, thus freeing up more countertop. All the buttons can go on top and it'll still fit under a kitchen wall cabinet.

So many people put their microwaves in the corner of the kitchen. They'd sell loads.

A machine that lets other people experience how you're feeling physically at that point in time. So when you go to the doctor's you don't need to describe your symptoms and how you're feeling, you both just pop in the box and they get to experience your pain, tiredness, fever whatever.
Also useful when deciding who is the illest and gets to stay in bed whilst the other one deals with the children 😂
