Holograms.

Why? Because honestly...why the blazes not? I can honestly say I am genuinely upset that hologram projectors are yet to be the norm of our society.

I WANT MY JETPACK!!!!

And none of that "pressurized tanks that FART you into the air for 30 seconds" crap.

I want a jetpack with jets, that can fly for longer than 15 minutes.

On a side note, I DON'T want a hologram room (ie physical projections like in star trek). I mean, you've just given people access to a room where anything and everything they could ever want is literally at their fingertips. Would they ever leave?

What, a suit isn't good enough for you? :p (I keed, don't hurt me.)

On topic, I want to know why I can't get an alarm clock that will cause me bodily pain, because that is pretty much the only reason I can wake up. I mean something like electrodes and stuff. Something that will cause me undue pain until I walk over and shut the thing up. Either that, or a bed that retracts into the wall when my alarm goes off, so it's physically impossible for me to get back into bed later. Something like the Jetsons. On that topic, WHERE IN THE GODDAMN ARE MY MOVING SIDEWALKS?! I have to *walk* everywhere?! What's that shit about, eh? Also, why can't we have cars with good gas mileage, cigarettes that DON'T cause cancer, and... god, there's just a whole slew of stuff that should exist yet doesn't, yet I feel like I'm being bitchy if I list it all.
Oh, and a cure for cancer, as well. I understand treatment is more profitable than a cure, but come on, at some point we've got to let our decency shine through and just put these poor people out of their torment and fix them. Enough is enough...

SHAZAM!

That if flippin' amazing! How do they do that?
It's not that complicated. (well, okay, it IS, but the basic principal is simple)

That bright light you see in the backround in the projector. It's projecting the image of the girl onto a nearly-invisible sheet of special glass, in front of the audience.

Her voice is a "vocaloid", a computer program that takes sound bites from a real person, and uses that to let the programmer make any sound that the person could. This is usually used to make words, and in this case, sing.

Good lord, that is amazing. If I could only figure out a way to get that onto a graphing calculator, my AP exam would be cake

Naw! I don't wear the suits... Multiple reasons including some claustrophobic issues and itchiness...

And don't worry! I won't hurt you...

Yet...

I've already answered this one, we DO have holograms now.

But their not the norm though aren't they? Sure CNN and ESPN has them but how wicked would it be if schools and households had them?

The purpose? Because their awesome!

So it isn't 3 Demensional? It is just projected onto glass? I thought you could walk around it and see it from all sides like a hologram out of Star Wars.

Minecraft in Real Life (or a VR simulation thereof), so I can dig through the planet and build the Tower of Sauron in my backyard.

Oh yes, and widespread societal recognition of the awesomeness that is Danny Baranowsky (look him up).

We're not quite there yet. But, hey, baby steps. The fact that holograms are commercially viable (that video is taken from a vocaloid concert, which are quickly becoming popular in Japan), means that the technology will be improved and perfected.
