Is that all Fara?

Right now, I want a proper coffee making machine.

 

Maybe her machine makes coffee too.

 

A true suitcase neutron bomb.

I assume I don't have to explain why

 

A machine that would work like the time stop spell. Five minutes before a school paper is due you just cast time stop and finish the paper.

 

The time machine would be great, if you did not 'age' while time was stopped.

Fara Senefsdottir invincibility/immortality is no good if you become trapped in a cave, pit etc. It could take you 1000's of years to be discovered!

 

@ Cesard -Yeah, but the telepathy would enable me to move any and all obstructions out of the way so that I could get out. And if that didn't work, The immortality/invincibility would mean that I could dig out without having to worry about hurting myself or getting tired. And the 4-digit IQ would lend itself well to figuring out the best method of escape. Sure, it'd be boring, but so what? That's what show tunes are for.

@ Shrikant & Jag - Nah. Coffee's evil. Apples wake you up faster, are healthier, and taste better. Plus, you don't have to worry about making it, since it's already made for you.

 

A pill of nanites that would, using your original genetic structure, construct your body into its peak performance. Your age, strength, endurance, dexterity etc would all become the best they can be. It would also protect you from all kinds of harmful physical changes such as disease, poison or cancer, and almost instantaneously heal you from any possible wounds.

Basically these nanites would re-build your body to represent what it could be as its best, and then keep the status quo, preventing any further changes. The only thing they wouldn't fiddle with would be the development of your nerve cells / pathways. While alzheimer's, parkinson's etc would all be equally harmless to you, you could still develop your own mind and body coordination skills as much as you liked.

And of course, these nanites would share a common link at all times, and have the memory space & ability to store the "essence of your mind" so to speak. So that if at any time you would die, only a few batches of the nanites would need to survive to rebuild your body and imprint your mind into the brain, making you feel as if you'd only taken a long sleep. If too many of the nanites had been destroyed, you would have gaps in your memory. But it would still be you.

And of course, no harmful side-effects. Because of the status quo idea, the Outer Limits thing where the nanites developed the body beyond what it was ever supposed to be (into a hideously ugly thing not meant to house a human mind who still wanted to be a human) and refused to let it die, would be impossible.

That's just the usual fun cliché thing. I suppose the really useful technological invention would be something that would translate the experiences and emotions people have into a common language. So that people would actually reach true understanding with one another. No matter what your religion, skin colour, social background or whatever was, you would be on the same line with everyone else. No more wars because the people fighting those wars would actually genuinely realise how stupid it was. It would also help to recognize the truly sick individuals from the healthy ones, so they could be put away and hopefully be cured.

For the lack of a better description, call it a device that would unite all people into the same single hivemind. Where everyone would understand the good of the whole... and each other. Not so that they would lose their individual identities and become slaves to the system, but so that they would learn to appreciate themselves and others all at the same time. Don't know if that's even possible though.

 

Something that would enable me to stop the time, perhaps a microchip installed in my brain that responds to the word "aardvark".

Needless to say, clothes for the women of my choise would dissapear,I would be a billionare, all the people I dont like would be gone and I would rule the world without anyone knowing it.

I would also need a teleporting device so that I can move while the time is stopped, walking would be too slow when it comes to traveling to other continents.

One of Fara's pills would do good too, because I want to stay in power for some time, although I would like another pill for killing myself, because I doubt that living for infinity could become quite boring.
