What is your favorite Science Fiction Technology?

[jad4400]

Power Armour (Starship Troopers, Fallout, really a whole bunch of cool sci-fi movies, books and games)

 

[paragon1]

The POV gun from Hitchhiker's. Will win every argument ever, and I MIGHT use it to bring world peace (maybe, if I feel like it).

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

Simple, if you have seen tech in a science ficton game, book, movie, or tv show, say which one you think is coolest.

What is your favourite Sci Fi tech thingy?

Mine has to be the replicator from Star Trek. Infinite food, drink and drugs, and other material objects, awesome!

 

[Asdrubaal]

Kallocain by Karin Boye

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Human genetic engineering in the Culture novels by Iain M Banks. Adaptability, lifespan, drug glands and all of that good stuff.

 

[CrazyFikus]

I'm surprised the replicator only got mentioned once, just imagine: you can just MAKE new tech and assemble a new PC without spending a dime.

 

[Fbuh]

Either cybernetic limbs and enhancements or the concept of an electromagnet engine that allows ships to fly without using aerodynamics.

 

[whaleswiththumbs]

Aetheric Mechanics, that stuff is amazing

 

[traceur_]

Jet packs!

 

[Eagle Est1986]

How about the Star Forge from KOTOR? That'd be pretty good. Though I think the thread might have already been won with this;

HK-47 [/thread]

 

[Desaari]

Pretty much anything from Minority Report. Jet packs, pressure wave guns, sick sticks, floating transport thingies. Yeah.

 

[massau]

a man that's halve machine
power armor lasers plasma guns
and bombs that can destroy a planet

 

[NewClassic_v1legacy]

The Tuxedo [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tuxedo].

It's useful in this world, great for all practical applications, looks snazzy, and does everything I could want it to do. Parkour in dinner-wear, no sweat, never get tired?

Sign me up.

 

[Anachronism]

The inner Star Wars fanboy commands me to say Lightsabre.

Although, if I actually had to choose one, I'd take the technology the Culture have which allows people to alter their genes, and as a result have minutes-long orgasms.

 

[ffxfriek]

slip space from halo is pretty dam awesome

 

[ThePeaceFrog]

axolotl tanks, the future for us all

 

[internutt]

The Kamen Rider Technology.

 

[Not Good]

I'd love me some Combine trans-universe technology.
