Flying cars. I know theres those personal helicopter things, but dammit whats taking so long?
Flying cars are one of the last things in the world I'd ever want to see. People can hardly drive in two dimensions, what makes you think they'd be able to handle three dimensions.

Actually, there's not too much I can think of right now that should be developed, except things that have no profit margin, so nobody's going to make them wide scale.

A portable gatling weapon system.
Though I suppose that would be a tad bit heavy.

Or an actual laser gun.
But that doesn't exist yet, presumably because the American scientists are a bunch of slow and fat bastards.

How about an actual mecha used for war and the alike?
Then again, those legs would require one hell of a lot of maintenance, and would be a much too easy way to bring the thing down. Just blast a joint.
lethal lasers do exist, we use them to shoot down missiles. but if you mean "pew pew pew" lasers, those foot long cylinders of light, you might be thinking more along the lines of a plasma gun

you could theoretically breed one, dogs come from wolves after all, but it would take generations of selective breeding to do it (kitty generations that is)

personally i want them to invent a machine that can analyze your blood, figure out what chemical imbalances your body has and give you a single daily pill to take to balance them out. I don't know know about you but i'm since of have to take a pill for ADHD, a vitamin and a pill for anxiety/depression.

Or at least some way to administer the meds without having to take a pill or have an IV drip, better yet, how about both

(BTW i think a pill like that should be optional, just fyi)

Why they should exist-Because who can say no to a zombie apocalypse?
Sane people have no need to take the perfectly fine lifestyle they live in and destroy it...but I would love to see all the "omg zombie apocalypse is awzum" people get eaten by zombies as I laugh my ass off noticing that they couldn't survive a minute in a zombie apocalypse :DD

Simply put "because we wanna fuck em" is not sufficient reason to make cat people using tax dollars. If you can self fund the project go nuts.
What an odd thing to say. I know there are creepy fetishists out there who want to have sex with animal people and aliens and all sorts of weird things, but you can't assume that is the only reason why someone would want those weird things around. As a fantasy and sci-fi enthusiast, I think it would be pretty awesome if there different species on earth, not just different cultures. I think it would cool if there was wargons and stuff walking around.
Do you hear that whooshing sound way above you? Thats the sound of the joke I made.

Lasers and force fields. Imagine the uses, we could create large force fields to stop floods.

Giant star ships to travel space at super speed like in Star Trek. I know I'll be long dead before that happens but out of all things that would be the most awesome.

Cyborg arm guns, seriously if someone goes to war and loses an arm you could just slap on a cyborg shotgun arm and he can go back to war.

Not so much that secret, global, genetic modification is frowned upon in most countries as that is not how genetics works. You would probably need extensive plastic surgery and some way to clone hair follicles... Not to mention changing how hair grows: Humans have hair, not fur. Don't ask me HOW they're different, I just know that hair never stops growing and fur does.

I would like there to be some sort of organization that disperses information that stops people from killing other people on account of stupid.

This should exist so I can work there and stop people from killing other people on account of stupid. Fuck world peace, I can settle for 1 less unnecessary homicide.

Holodeck Porn, because we all know that's one of the first things we'd do with holodeck technology.

Joking aside, hover boards (that work on water), Bioshock-style genetic enhancements minus the whole "going batshit crazy" thing, and for Canada to tell Bell and other telecom companies to eat a dick and to get rid of that bullshit usage cap nonsense, especially when we've reached an age where it's difficult to find a piece of electronic equipment that DOESN'T connect to the internet somehow.

What if someone accidentally converts something from a game such as Dead Space? Not saying a cute baby chocobo wouldn't be adorable.

Wireless electricity transmission. the japanese were supposedly working on an ideas of solar panels in space with wireless transmission to earth. the only problem was that it would burn birds and aircraft. sounds worth it to me.
