Things that must be invented

[Plurralbles]

this of course

tey have those things that have the screen with the head on and a doctor can control the robot from miles away... So it's kind of like that...(I didn't watch the vid, if it was something other than a doctor with a floating head that went anywhere, tell me)

Anyway, here's one, cordless headphones with wide market appeal. I still don't understand why every headset I have has a wire to it. Surely it is not impossible to have a hearing aid basically, that can accept radio signals from an MP3 player. My God I can't fathom why this atrocious, uncomfortable, and limiting wire stll is around.

the bannana powered machine gun that shoots chocolate bullets of joy.
what?

A machine that invents things.

I agree.

Yippee! If you were offered that, there is no way on hell or earth that you could refuse that

 

[Triforceformer]

A dream recorder.

Imagine a DVD collection of your own dreams...


Seriously, how awesome would that be?

That would not be a very good idea. The porn industry would just burn down in an instance. And the movie industry... oh god.

Well both are pretty much crap right now. I;d be cool with this idea as long it comes out AFTER Toy Story 3.

O.T. A time machine for the purpose of letting us get to the time of the TF2 Engineer update sooner.

 

[LightOfDarkness]

A Gravity Gun.

Think of the building potential!

 

[LightOfDarkness]

Oh and cameras in our eyes.

There's a guy who lost his eye, then replaced his fake eye with one that has a camera embedded in it.

 

[sakegirl14]

real gundams. hell yes.

That would be the best day of my life!!!

 

[Outright Villainy]

Anti aging drink, physically reverses your body's age. Not your brain though. That would be awesome.

So when you're eighty, you'd be physically fit, but senile? Your brain rots over time, if you lived to a hundred and fifty it'd be in a sorry state...

I want a machine that studies for me! And does my exams. And physical labour. And makes me tea.
Though it only serves one of those functions, that makes the kettle the best invention in history by default.

 

[Stone Wera]

A machine that invents things.

It already exists. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human]

...and I'm going to say `Doomsday Device'. As long as I get to control it. Bwahahaha, etc.

Humans are not machines, therefore your joke falls flat.

Where did the sound guy go? I need that "Wah-wah-waaah" effect.

A machine is any device that uses energy to perform some activity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine

...all we are is devices that use energy to perform activities.

(Why yes, I am a pessimist).

Edit: even better quote:

A structure regarded as functioning as an independent body, without mechanical involvement.

Humans are not devices, they are living organisms.

Device

1. Any piece of equipment made for a particular purpose, especially a mechanical or electrical one.

So you're saying that humans weren't created by God to fulfil a particular purpose?

Also, I too have a definition from OED

machine

an apparatus using mechanical power and having several parts, for performing a particular task.

Humans fulfil that definition (even if the task is just `to survive')...

You can't use god in an arguement.
Even if he exists you do not know what he believes or supports or why he did what.
Also we are not mechanical.

A meat flavored frisbee, your dog would love you forever.
Your turn. (DO NOT STEAL IDEAS, OR ZOMBIE HEATH LEDGER WILL KILL YOU TO DEATH)

A meat flavored frisbee, my dog would love me forever. (awaits crowning moment of awesome)

Come, Heath! Your "services" are needed.

EDIT: A wireless vacuum.
A car that uses solar, electric, and gas for fuel.
A newer, better religon.

 

[CowboyfromHell666]

I will say this, where are all the flying cars and robots that were promised to us in the 50s?
And WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE FLYING CARS AND ROBOTS THAT WERE PROMISED TO US IN THE 50S???????

I'm sorry, I was excited when I heard I could have my own robot butler/bodyguard that does whatever I tell it to.

 

[MadeinHell]

surgically installed in skull cell phones. Also, a cure for brain cancer.

B-b-brilliant idea! One would cure brain cancer and the other would cause it!

Also I'm terribly scared of surgically installed skull cell phones actually coming... Imagine that you CAN'T deny any call that's coming to you! No "oh sorry I left my cellphone in my jacket" or "Oh sorry it must have been on silent mode" NONE OF THAT!
Some jackass is calling to you 24/7 AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!
Doesn't sound all that fun now eh?

This is for you sir:

 

[CouchCommando]

A race culture creed cannon, so that any racial, cultural creed hater can have it turned on them and instantly be turned into whatever race culture creed they imagine they have a beef with. I recon it would be kinda poetic justice.

 

[Nocturnal Gentleman]

What I've always wanted beyond any other invention is that gene splicing bs I see so many times in movies and video games where adult humans can combine or replace their genes with another species genes that will give them amazing traits and abilities. Seriously, am I the only one that watches nature programs and always ask myself, "Why the hell can't I do that?! I definitely want that animal's skin, legs, claws, feathers,eyes, gills, ect.!!"

Or hell. Just give me some awesome hybrid pet. Like the crocodog from jack and daxter. We already make mansheep and spider goats. Make me something cool already science!

 

[joshuaayt]

Synthetic sperm and egg cells, so we can finally stop having so much god damn sex.

 

[Blue Musician]

A keyboard that is like a piano. Now really, we musicians really do need one.
Other than that, a box that leads us to another universe
And most importantly.

BENDER!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Marowit]

Lightsabers.

Why, you say? Need you even ask?

My first thought when I saw the title of this thread as well.

 

[Burwood123]

Real working health bars. And mini one's for spiders, cause they're scary.

 

[The_Anomaly]

Screw it.
Give me the T-Virus!

If you want the T-virus; then I want the Necromorphs. Ha, sir, HA!.

Do NOT call me sir!
