    It’s a toss-up to me between the Master’s Tissue Compression Eliminator from Dr. Who and having my own ED-209 from the first Robocop movie. I’d use either one to keep my neighbors and their pooping dogs off my lawn. (just kidding)

    no one wants the gestural computer from minority report? i know i’m lined up, especially since i should actually be able to have one in five years! really, this video is grand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLhMVNdplJc
    a TARDIS would be far too much responsibility…unless, of course, it came with David Tennant. don’t tell my husband. :p

  • Em

    I want a TARDIS too!

    no gonna lie, i always wanted a ‘power rangers’ communicator! those things were awesome! not only could you turn into a colorful blur and travel super quick, but you had direct contact with alpha and zordon… hello, what more could you want?

    You can keep your Sonic Screwdrivers and give me Sarah Jane’s Sonic Lipstick! Much easier to conceal. I would also like a shoe phone ala Get Smart. I like shoes and I hate carrying a cell phone.

    OK, I want the makeup applicators *and* the microwave thingee that makes the big chicken dish. (My husband and I say “Chee-kahn!” just about every time we eat it because we’re giant dorks. I’m intrigued by the gestural computer but am lazy enough to wait for the next model where you don’t have to wave your arms around.

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned the holodeck from Star trek next gen/voyagfer. In fact paris and kim from voyager are the only ones who ever used the holodeck how real people would use it. to conger up bikini models to serve them drinks. Once the holodeck is perfected all other advances will stop. we’ll be too busy in the holodeck.

    R2D2 from Star Wars. The sounds would crack me up and he’s just so darn cute.

  • Stacey

    I’m echoing votes for the TARDIS and sonic screwdriver from Dr. Who. They definitely go hand in hand: one gets you into exciting adventures, and the other gets you out when things get sticky!

    I would love to have an army DRDs from Farscape. First, they are kind of cute. Second, it would be handy to have those suckers do all of your dirty work for you. Finally, it would be kind of cool to instantly be able to understand and communicate in foreign languages that were completely, uh, foreign to you.

    I am a woman who has never had an interest in being a gearhead. Surprisingly I fell in love with a tech gadget on wheels, the Batmobile from Batman Begins. To quote Jim Gordon, “I’ve got to get me one of those.”

    You know that one thing that Neo was hooked up to in the Matrix that loaded all that artificial intelligence into his mind (including endless amounts of combat training) thus making it possible to have the knowledge of close to everything within a short amount of time?
    Uh, yeah, I want THAT thing.

  • Carlos

    One more thing: TELEPORTER, TELEPORTER, TELEPORTER (from Stak Trek, of course).

  • Carlos

    Stak Trek?? I meant Star Trek.

  • Jelana

    To to Jelana — excellent correction. Made me smile. I still want the lasso.
