    Default If you could invent something, ANYTHING, what would it be?

    If you had the necessary means - research, funds, equipment, team - to invent and build something thats fully functional, what would it be?


    Since I have a fascination with dreams and the subconscious, I'd build a machine that can capture/record all of the 'images' in someones dreams and transport onto something (like a DVD and the like) so that you can review them and share them with others.


    What would you build?

    Nope. Just the ability to go forward and back. I always thought that would be so cool.

    I've got a friend who swears they were born in the wrong century, that the should have lived in "Little House on the Prairie" times - so this would allow them to check that out.

    Imagine being places at the time to witness historic events?

    ( and yeah, I'm a star trek and sci-fi geek - so I know about changing events and the butterfly effect, but this is just talking generally ).

    yeah but spelling out all my alien words, I might as well type it all myself.... and then that's a lot of time too... so i might as well build a machine to type the other 300+ pages up left..

    I would love to Teleport. Kinda like the the way Anya does it in Season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It looks so pretty.

    A clean, 100% renewable source of energy that is compact and suitable for use in all applications.

    Hey, we're dreaming, right? Might as well REALLY dream.
    It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    The hands of the many must join as one.
    And together we'll cross the river.

    YES YES!!! I don't know who Anya is or what she does, but I need it NOW!!!

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    Spider Jerusalems (Transmetropolitan Man) bowell disruptor gun. How fun would that be to inflict on people who piss you off.

    When two fit, it makes you think
    I got the cute one, my woman
    She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
    And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
    Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
    When two fit it makes you think
    See us both in the black
    She lays on me so relaxed.

    The ability to do REAL magic. I always wish I could twitch my nose like Samantha and take care of anything I needed!

    This is what I was going to answer. I want a machine that can teleport you places. All forms of transportation currently available to us are far too slow. It drives me crazy.

    Any type of machine that could heal some serious illness we can't heal yet.
