Computers and technology industry is always inspired by fictional gadgets that were once part of movies, shows, books and comics. Few examples are,

  • Tablet computer `PADD from Star Trek` (today's iPad)
  • HAL 9000 a voice activated computer from Space Odyssey (kind of Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant)
  • 3D printers from various movies
  • Video call from Space Odyssey (today's FaceTime, Skype, and more)
  • Smart watches from comics as early as 1930's (today's Apple Watch, Android Watch etc)

What is one fictional gadget you want to own or want to see become a reality?

My choice is a Light Saber, and I wish I can move it like mighty Master Yoda.

Remember, answer to every thing in this community is also 42 :-)

@DPKJ I think you just named everyone's #1 gadget, let's be honest who doesn't want a light saber.

On a more functional perspective, part of me thinks a sonic screwdriver could be fun to have:

I would like to have a "transporter" as seen in Star Trek movies.

I can use it to travel to any part of the world.

Imagine just after I post this answer and use the Transporter and meet you guys @DPKJ and @Jimmy Seddon :-)

Oh man, so many:

  • Mr Fusion - Back to the Future
  • Transporters - Star Trek
  • Replicators from - Start Trek

To name a few.

But I would have to say the Med Bay from Elysium. Having lost someone to Cancer makes you wish there was some magical, or in this case technological, cure that could get rid of any ailments. Of course, like Elysium, even if it did exist, it would probably only be available to only the wealthiest of people.

I am slightly late to this party but a) I am interested to see so many similar "wishes" and b) had almost the same ones myself. For me

  • Transit disks from "Ringworld" in a style where they are on street corners with a cardinal entry/exit such that a step takes you immediately to the next street corner in that cardinal direction. Removes the need for cars, public transit (actually would become the public transit) while making an entire city the "walkable neighborhood)
  • Transit booths such as found in "Pillars of Eternity" where one steps into a phone booth, dials the number and you go to that place. Removes the need for all manner of transport, not to mention the time involved getting from place to place.
  • Compressed space from the "Walter Stickle" trilogy where, like the Tardis, space inside a room is as big as needed/desired. Could have a highly dense population base where all live on an acreage inside their "door"

It will be great when universal translators improve and are readily available.

There are so many people I'd love to have a short chat with where they can speak comfortably in the language of their choosing while allowing me to hear and process language with my mono-linguistic English brain.

One reason I started using "Kat" was that it was easy to pronounce for a wide range of language speakers and 'miaow' to confirm how it is said is nearly universally amusing. I did this when I started working a retail job in a multi-cultural area and it helped out people at ease.

Not sure if it counts as a gadget, 'cause it's technically a creature (though it's used like a gadget, much like the Hitchiker's Guide's Babel Fish), but I'd love to have a Convertor, from the Valerian and Laureline comics.

GrumpyConverter         Converter valerian

Besides it being absolutely adorable, obviously, it's also just so useful!. For those that don't know, the Converter can take any object and multiply it. It's canonically dubbed the 'Grumpy Converter' because it's not always very compliant. But it's shown in the comics that when it is treated well, and given lots of energy to recharge itself, it is actually quite helpful and loyal.

I do a lot of craft projects. Not having to make multiples of something, and basically having infinite supplies would be pretty awesome! Not to mention that money wouldn't really be an issue anymore XD.

I think it'd be wonderful to have a bag with an infinite amount of space inside (but it never gets heavier), like Mary Poppins' bag or Hermione's charmed bag in the sixth Harry Potter book.

I use public transportation, so to be able to go to from the gym to work to school or some other exhausting combination without having to schlep multiple bags around would be wonderful. I'd have tons of snacks (in bulk, minimizing packaging!), a whole place setting and silverware, multiple outfit changes, a yoga mat, all my study materials... I'd be ready for anything my day throws at me!

Yes, I could just teleport to and from wherever instead...but this seems more realistic. ;)

One could simplify the billionaire bit by taking the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy approach where one has the "Galacticard that keeps on working even though you never send in the payments".

Then one can spend money without having to WORRY about money.
